Nikau Restaurant & Lounge Bar

We are pleased to offer a delicious selection of meals, desserts, snacks, and drinks for your enjoyment. Come join us at The Nikau Restaurant and Bar for cosy surroundings and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Restaurant open from 6pm till late

 

Natural Northland

With the waters of the Bay of Islands rich with marine life, fresh seafood is a popular feature on the menu in the Nikau Restaurant. So too are other regional specialties such as our selection of Northland cheeses. For something very Kiwi, look out for the Rewana bread (a type of Maori bread) and the country’s national dessert, the pavlova.
