Reviewed By Ian_Lyuba
Wonderfully friendly welcome by the proprietor, old school in a Kiwi sense. Went out of his way. It's an old heritage hotel. Don't expect all the mod cons or you will be disappointed. All the basic needs for a very fair budget price and the balcony was great. I would go back. It's very close to the equally budget Ngawha Hot Springs which I will also review separately. Did not eat in the restaurant but stayed overnight in the hotel. Only know what the proprietor had on offer. Sounded like good Pub food but we already had a full picnic basket of our own.
9. McKenzie's Restaurant & Bar
Reviewed By Thronodor
We only noticed this as we walked past as it's within the Kingsgate Autolodge in Paihia and it could really use more signage and advertising as it was almost empty during peak time and it's really good. We had the Garlic bread, Oysters, Lamb Shanks, Steak and Fish & Chips and all were excellent. We didn't make it to desserts. Good portions, excellent quality.

Located in Paihia, King Wah Chinese Seafood Restaurant has been at the forefront of the Paihia dining scene for many years.

Buffet Chinese meal with the added extra of superb oysters. Fat and salty. Wine was a reasonable price. $35 for all you can eat! A bargain! We went twice in one week! The staff were very helpful, offering water and anything we may need. Very clean and hot food continually being replaced with fresh food.

Beautiful setting, awesome staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful. I would come back again just for that. However I ordered Buffalo Chicken Wings x 6 in a spicy sauce, and they were. However instead of getting 6 Buffalo wings I received chicken nibbles. They tasted lovely but not what I was expecting for me first meal of the day at 1.30pm.Hello KarenI am so pleased to hear the nice things you have said about our restaurant! I am sorry that you were unsatisfied with our chicken nibbles. Upon review of the menu, I can confirm that it states 'nibbles' and not specifically 'wings'. That being said, I think wings would be a great addition to our menu and I will put in a request to our chefs!Feel free to contact me should have any other suggestions or concerns at [email protected]

These guys smash takeaways. Heaps of delicious things that I can't eat, but that's no drama for them. Regularly they throw me together a homemade burger patty made from nothing but wholefoods, wrapped in lettuce with some delicous relish and salads. The best tasting salad burger takeout you'll find North of Auckland. And the plain old fries are what you remember from being a kid, crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle. BOMB. We're lucky to have them in the Falls!

My husband and I went here for dinner as it was right next door to where we were staying. The food was really nice although the service was a little sub par. They weren't busy but the service was quite slow. We would eat there again as the food was nice.

The Duke of Marlborough is a 5 Star restaurant with 5 Star service. This is the place to go for fine dining and exceptional service. All of the staff are professional waiters and know what they are doing. The kitchen was well staffed and the food was exceptional too. I enjoyed my dining experience, forgot to take photos ... but well worth a visit. I will be going back and remember to take a photo!

Reviewed By GaryBrazel
The food was excellent and so was the ambience. It has an elegant indoor dining room and also has outdoor seating. There are views of the harbor from both. We had the tasty very fresh flounder [$37] which is a large whole fish served with bok choy and pomegranate seeds. We also got the fish of the day [$39] which comes with roast potatoes, carrots and courgettes and a sauce. I recommend the roasted vegetables [$9.50] which were delicious. The rocket salad [$9.50] was okay.It claims to be the oldest New Zealand licensed restaurant.
