Rock-It Kitchen

“Good fish and chips. Also filleted fish for taking home and cooking yourself. The smoked fish is great from here, and the raw fish and prawn salad also yummy. The wait can be very long when it’s busy or the weekend, maybe have some snacks handy and a drink while you wait to avoid a “hangry” time there. ”

“Ngarunui is a great beach for swimmers and surfers. Please swim between the flags – this is the only safe area for swimmers. There’s often decent surf at Ngarunui and some options for learners. If you’re learning how to surf, Ngarunui is the best place for you. There is a decent walk down hill and back up for visitors to this beach. There are toilets and showers. But no snacks, shade or drinking water options - so take your own. ”

“Historical Colonial Hotel right in the centre of town. The front of the hotel offers a la carte restaurant and the popular Veranda Bar. At the rear of the pub is a large Sports Bar. There is a Bloody Mary Breakfast Club on summer Sundays. ”

“Orca Restaurant & Bar in Raglan offers a la carte dining with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and simple flavours. Situated with stunning views of the Raglan Harbour it also features a sunny deck perfect for summer dining. ”

“A great little supermarket at the heart of the community and that has almost everything you might need including an excellent wine and beer offering. ”
