Waterfront Restaurant

Waterfront restaurant is an experience to be savoured, enjoy the best food & wine from the Nelson Tasman region, a relaxing coffee, and the natural beauty of Kaiteriteri beach.

Celebrate Christmas with Us!

We’re excited to announce that The Waterfront Restaurant will be open on 25th December from 12 PM to 7 PM!
We’ll be serving the delicious Gone Burgers Menu – all available as takeaway.
Coffee, non-alcoholic drinks, and alcohol (served from 1 PM) will also be available.
With the weather looking a bit dreary, stop by, enjoy a hot coffee, and relax in a cozy spot.

Plan for the Day:

Please note that we’ll have a limited team on deck, so your patience and understanding will be greatly appreciated.

Let’s make this Christmas special together! 🎅


Waterfront Restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy great food and wine with friends or family. Positioned right alongside Kaiteriteri beach, sit and enjoy being in one of the best destinations in New Zealand, while having lunch or a simple morning flat white. 

Our kitchen team sources ingredients from the region, including herbs grown on the Reserve, to deliver dishes that reflect the region. Starting with the ocean, our incredible aquaculture industry enables us to serve fresh and flavourful salmon, mussels and a wide range of sustainably caught fish year-round. We make the most of this bountiful kaimoana through a variety of delicious menu dishes. The friendly and knowledgeable local staff will be on hand to recommend one of our many regional wines or craft beers and provide you with an insider's guide to the best spots to visit whilst in the area. 

We are open seven days and bookings are recommended in our peak summer season for large bookings.

Waterfront Restaurant is proudly owned and operated by the Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve, with profits helping to protect the natural beauty of the Reserve. 

Sample menus are subject to change due to seasonality or demand.
