Great location overlooking the marina. We are local so have been here a few times. Food is much better than your average cafe. The Calamari is way different from the normal squid rings and is hard to go past. But yesterday I did and got... chicken wings instead and wasn’t disappointed. My wife’s favourite is the pasta which I normally assist her with finishing it off. Everything is cooked freshly and you can taste the difference. Best lunch choice in the area. More

So worth the detour- forget Matakana, forget Warkworth and drive a few minutes more out to the lovely Sandspit Marina. Upstairs with the best view over the boats is the Yacht Club Kitchen. Daniel and Renee are wonderful hosts serving up good down to earth... food and drinks, conversation and humour. Today’s lunch was fat and juicy scallops and a deconstructed beef burger to cater to my no-carb request. Love this place #supportlocal More

We are never disappointed with the meals. The quality is excellent and the choice is varied ranging from pasta, fish and chips,steak and more ... The chips are delicious, the best I have eaten. They cater also for children. The owners go out of their... way to ensure that you enjoy the dining experience. Happy Hour is on a Thursday when many locals gather for a get together and a drink often followed by a meal. It does pay to book ahead. The views from the deck of the marina and Sandspit estuary are great especially now that we are about to go into daylight saving. More

Seriously, if you cherish a great burger you must try one here. Very kiwi and took me back to a time when burgers weren't some mass produced patty between two buns. The texture of the patty was sensational and perfectly cooked (i know - we... had a table that looked into the kitchen). If you are up Matakana way head here - you wont be dissappointed - Oh, the burger distracted me from a beautiful outlook too. More

This spot I would highly recommend as a great relaxing enjoyable experience the food was divine staff where so friendly and service was not to be questioned. I had fish and chips followed by a tiramisu dessert and accompanied by The Last Shepherd” Pinot Noir... from Central Otago. The view overlooking the marina was so beautiful. Thank you all for a very pleasant time 👍 More

Lovely water views from the deck - good spot for an aperitif. Limited menu (a good sign, usually) but more than enough choices. Meat, fish and veggie options. The dishes they do, they do very well. Outstanding chips! Good beer and wine selection including local... options. Reasonably priced. Relaxed, friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended. More

We were highly impressed with everything ! Our first visit to the yacht club but one of many to the Sandspit Motor Camp next door . Early evening dinner , by the marina . Greeted well at the door and given a couple table outside... with a view . The waitress was very welcoming and interested. Knew her menu well and hospitality came easy for her . Very impressed . The food that followed was high standard and well presented . Delivered in time and with sincerity to us as guests . Well priced and a lovely evening . A 2 minute walk home to the caravan through the board walk . Thankyou More

Visiting relatives in the area we had a late lunch here, the fish was so fresh I thought that I’d just caught it. Very friendly service with great food in a lovely setting.

Amazing location overlooking the marina. Great friendly staff. Small dog friendly. Thai beef salad and fish and chips fantastic. Must visit if you in area.

A very small menu, I think we were the only guests, a fairly late lunch after a successful fishing trip. The boat ramp is directly opposite. Small refined wine list (2 varieties of rose, Selaks and Villa Maria) and a small selection of beers to... go with. I had the beef burger, the other being chicken. That was ok. The Italian meal looked ok, no comment from the reviewer. The Thai beef curry salad had nothing in common with Thai, sorry, easily the worst option available. The battered market fish and chips were excellent...I didn’t get a taste of that one. My Dessert was ice cream...wouldn’t bother with that again but I like Ice cream. Service was prompt and polite, location and view was great but the meals just were not up to the previous owners or caterers. Of course they could get better with time. More

The very best calamari l have eaten in a long time. Fish and chips are always excellent. The waitress was very helpful and efficient. Gorgeous views too.

Great meal....and beer. We were the only dinners in here dec 21. Lovely spot over looking the harbour of course....

Wow, I highly recommend it! Excellent and welcoming service, fantastic food and great price. We will definitely come back. Thank you!

Water/marina front so there's always something to watch while dealing to a Sawmill and anything (everything is good) off the menu from Renee and Daniel.
