Three years. Two venues. One very proud Northland team. ✨

We’re incredibly proud to share that The Cove and The Quay have both been named in the Cuisine Good Food Guide 2026! 🥂🍴

For The Cove, this marks our third year in a row being recognised by Cuisine, while The Quay returns for its second year.. and we couldn’t be more proud.

A huge testament to the passion, hard work and dedication of our incredible teams, and to the wonderful guests and community who continue to support us.

Thank you to Cuisine for recognising the incredible hospitality happening across New Zealand, and for continuing to shine a light on our little corner of Northland. 🤍

Here’s to great food, great people and Northland hospitality at its finest. 🥂
