Venues

The Dock:

The Dock is the perfect location for saying “I do” over the water and dancing the night away under the stars. With umbrellas and shade sails across the entire deck, your guests, and more importantly you, will feel comfortable even on the hottest summer day. Each umbrella has lights attached, so once you’ve watched the sun set across the water, we will light up the night to keep the party going. We offer Half Dock and Full Dock packages to suit your budget and guest list needs. Please note that this is an outdoor venue with limited wet weather options. If you would like to secure an option in case of inclement weather, we can include that in your detailed quote.

The Aquarium:

Rain or shine, the Aquarium always has stunning views over the Bay of Islands. With large windows from every angle of the restaurant, your guests will be impressed by the magical setting regardless of the weather outside. On the inside of the restaurant, we have a large aquarium which is guaranteed to entertain any children that may be attending. We offer Half Aquarium and Full Aquarium packages to suit your budget and guest list needs.

Please let us know at what date you are looking at and what size of party you might be planning!
