Surf Shack Eatery We are passionate about NZ and a sustainable NZ. We have an eclectic menu offering funky food!
(354)

We are very proud to represent everything NZ has to offer and stock a wide range of NZ products. This has been our ethos from the outset and the concept is evolving all the time. We follow a Kiwi Back ideology and a beachy feel with funky outside seating spaces. We pride ourselves on sustainability and try and improve where possible using locally sourced products. We are proud to hold one of only 6 Trip Advisor 'Traveler's Choice Awards' in the Western Bay of Plenty and are holders of the coverted Certificate of Excellence from 2017 - 2021. We were also stoked to have won NZ's Cafe of the Year Competition as National Peoples Choice NZ & Judges choice for 'Best Rural Cafe' for the Upper North Island! We are fully licensed and have some great NZ craft b**r & c***r to offer as well as some amazing NZ w**e, along with a NZ gin map offering award winning kiwi gins. Serving the unbeatable Mojo Coffee all the way from Pips home, Wellington, as well as other refreshing drinks such as our famous iced chocolates & coffees all topped with a cheeky donut. Serving probably the best burgers in NZ made from 100% freshly home ground steak (Lonely Planet 2019), our famous 'Street Food and World Kitchen' range or even try our bucket list of sweet pancakes - they really are to die for. We also serve healthy stacked salads & have a great kiddies menu too! We also have a wide range of gluten free, Keto, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan options. We are an exclusive venue offering amazing views of the Kaimai Range & the unbeatable quality of NZ produce. Our gardens have all day sunshine from dawn to dusk - don't sit inside when you can enjoy the fresh air! Come admire the great location where you can dine either inside or outside. We are only a 5 minute stroll to the white sands of the beautiful beach and sat right beside the Waihi Beach Airfield where planes and helicopters pop in for a spot of lunch!! Please bring your pets as they are most welcome, doggie treats are free :)

🌊✨ WE LOVE THIS KIND OF FEEDBACK! ✨🌊

A huge shoutout to this lovely lady for taking the time to send us such an awesome review! 🧡

'Hi guys , thank you for our table reservation last week Saturday. We had a great time.

I wanted to send a special shoutout to the team on that day. It was pumping and it was busy, but man the staff…. They were amazing! So friendly and kind , the kitchen brought out the food at rapid speed and for 10 people it seemed liked a breeze for the kitchen to get the food out. Also it tasted great. Some of the nicest breakfast I’ve had in New Zealand. The table and watering staff were just as good. We really felt they went out of their way for the customers and for us to make sure we were comfortable. The coffee tasted great and my whole family said they really enjoyed their food and coffees.

….Also it was so clean and tidy and you can see the effort it takes from the team to make the eatery nice.

Thanks again guys . Will recommend to others and look forward to our next visit'

Thanks so much Kayleigh and family, it was a pleasure being a part of your special day 💙

🐟 THE BEST FISH SANDO 🐟

Have you tried this bad boy yet?! 🤤
Tempura-battered fresh fish, homemade pea pesto, house tartare + cos lettuce, all tucked into salt & vinegar buttered focaccia.
And because we’re not messing around… house-made chip shop curry sauce + hand-cut kumara fries on the side.

Basically… YUM. YUM. YUM 😋
