Dedicating this post to an absolutely wonderful Head Housekeeper who will be leaving us today.
JonJon, you've been with us for such a long time that it's hard to believe today is your last day of working with us.
We appreciate everything you did for us and all the things you've had to put up with over the years.
Thank you very much for everything - we hope you enjoy the rest of your years surrounded by your mokopuna, creating essential memories with all your loved ones.
When you feel like having a meal here again, feel free to stop by.
Arohanui! ❤️🫡

We bid farewell to an incredible young woman!
We are sad to see you go but happy to know that wherever you go and whatever you do, you will put 100% into absolutely everything, because that is the kind of person you are.
Thank you for all your years of service and making us smile on every shift.
We will miss having our kitchen jukebox on hand to brighten our nights.
Make sure you come back for a chicken meal sometime, Tiana! ❤️

Thank you to the ladies at Essentially Flowers for once again providing us with some absolutely beautiful flowers to mark this occasion.
Arohanui! ❤️🫡

Kia ora Whanau! Our restaurant will be closing over the holidays so try and get in quick for your last dinner bookings of the year!
We're already getting pretty packed with the company buffets so the faster you contact us, the better.
The new menu is out now and will be implemented from now until November next year!

Tonight we say bon voyage to a beautiful soul! Thank you for working with us for three years, Manaia, we wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavours.
We hope you have a wonderful time in Auckland and we will see you again when you start to get the cravings for a nice, rare steak and a camembert cheese.
Thank you very much to the ladies at Essentially Flowers for helping us mark this wonderful occasion.
Arohanui! ❤️🫡

RESTAURANT CLOSED 20-30/06/2025.
Kia ora Whanau! Due to unforseen circumstances, our restaurant will be closed from Matariki Friday 20th to Monday 30th June 2025.
We will be back open again on Tuesday 1st July, so please call us to make your bookings before we run out of openings!
I am not at liberty to say why we are closing down for this period of time as it is a personal family matter but we appreciate your understanding and look forward to hearing from you all!
Have a wonderful day, nga mihi whanau!

Kia ora Whanau!

We have a buffet on Saturday night and still need a few more people to fill up our tables!
If you are interested, please give us a call - (09) 408 1510.
Adults are $49.50 each, children from 6 to 15 are double their age (so if they're 10 years old, their meal would cost $20.00) and children aged 5 and under are free.
Thank you, we look forward to hearing from you!

Kia ora whanau!

A beautiful tabby gave birth on our premises a few weeks back and we have been diligently taking care of them until they're old enough to adopt out.
Our two black kittens have loving homes but we are now looking for furever homes for our girls.
The tabby on the left is slightly smaller than her sister but just as rambunctious.
If anyone is interested in one or both of these sweethearts, please let us know!
Nga mihi nui! 💜

15/12 UPDATE: Thank you all for your support! Our smaller tabby has now been adopted and our other tabby may be adopted out soon. I've had so many calls today regarding them and only a few able to come in to see them. If our bigger tabby gets adopted, I will let you all know but thank you all so much for your help in finding them homes! 💜💜

BOTH BABIES HAVE NOW BEEN ADOPTED!! Thank you all again so so much! 💜💜

It has come to our attention that our opening hours are unclear so I will post this notice that is on our front doors.
We are a Motor Inn, so our reception is open all day - this does not mean that we serve food and drinks during that time, just that we are open to book guests into our rooms.
Please note that our breakfasts are only for house guests as well. If an organisation want to book their employees in for a breakfast meeting, we will need you to call or email your details - date, time and numbers - to be confirmed with our chef at least 48 hours prior to your booking date.
Nga mihi!

It's that time of year again where our chef wants to change things up!
This will be the new menu (experimental start tonight) through to next year!
I'm personally looking forward to the Chicken Bagel! 🤤
If our customers order it, I will post photos of the new meals!! 🤞🤞

KITCHEN HAND WANTED

Kia ora whanau! Our team is looking for a new member! It will only be two days a week for now (with the potential to stay on longer), as we need someone to cover our current kitchen hand while she is away.
We prefer mature, reliable, and responsible applicants able to learn quickly and safely under the guidance of our Head Chef and Manager, Grant Law.
We are located in Kaitaia so please be sure that your mode of transport to and from work is your trusty steed.
Shifts will start at 5:30 PM unless we have a buffet night, in which case you will either start earlier or later, depending on when our guests would like the food to be ready.
Please keep in mind that you will be working in the kitchen so you must wear the appropriate attire: closed-toed shoes, black pants, and a black shirt (or anything you don't mind getting messy when even the apron won't be enough to protect you).
If you are interested, please call (09) 408 1510, send us your CV at [email protected], or drop in with your CV to speak to our receptionist.
We look forward to hearing from you!
