The food and staff was amazing as always. Our top choice hands downs
My partner and a good friend went to CAV to celebrate my birthday and it was such an amazing birthday thanks to the staff at CAV. The staff and food is always great. Being a chef myself this is top of my list . We always look forward to seeing the amazing staff and eating such great food. My Birthday was amazing because the staff there made me feel very special as always. Thanks for helping making my Birthday amazing.
Staff was friendly and attentive, meals delivered quickly. Worth paying a visit!
The staff is always so friendly and wonderful and makes sure that everything is ok . The food is great and all around it’s a great place to go.
Went here on a Sunday night for dinner , the restaurants it was very quiet but pleasant. The waitresses who were working were very polite and helpful. The dinner was very yummy, I had the chicken schnitzel with gravy which came with the very delicious potato salad. My mum ordered the roast and only had the meat which they accommodated for very well. I highly recommend the cavalier even if it's not through bookme.
Spent my Birthday with special people in my life and as always it was well worth it. The staff was amazing as always and the food was also. We had a wonderful time making memories at the Cav . Hands down it our favorite place to go when we have visitors and also for special occasions. The staff there are amazing and so thankful to have a place to go and enjoy making memories.
It was the best experience ever thanks so much
The Covert Theatre always delivers… Always different, always fun - highly recommend!
Great food (huge portions!), good cocktails and friendly service
As always great good and service. Special time with family. The food and staff were amazing as always. For us it’s our place to go and take our family and friends and make some great memories being together.
Took two of my friends from out of town and we were all very happy that we pick here to have dinner. It was amazing food and service. The staff was very friendly and the manager made my friends feel very welcome. This is one of my top places to take my friends. I would recommend them no doubt. Looking forward to going again sometime soon.
We love the food and staff was great too. Loved the share plates. The room was a bit dark though so hard to see the food. We will definitely be back!
Best way in my opinion to quickly get an overview of all highlights and potentially interesting areas of the city (e.g. we discovered nice food courts we else would have missed: Ponsonby stop). Audio provided differs per driver but was good in general.
What a gem! Cute decor inside and loved the enthusiasm of the Chef/Owner(?). Decided on the specials of the day which were so delicious, we recommended they place them on the main menu! Locals were stopping in on their way home to grab take-aways, and other patrons enjoyed sitting outside. We cannot wait to dine again!
My family and I had a beautiful dinner here last night! Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Already planning our next trip.
Great place for the smaller Kids.. they had a blast.. host was very friendly and welcoming.. we will b back..!!
The trio Russell, Karen and the pooch “Woody” are amazing. Excellent hospitality and delicious food. I strongly recommend this sailing to spend some time in the sea with your loved ones whilst enjoying the City of sails. Wholeheartedly! Thank you once again, Russel & Karen, for the delicious cake for my wife's birthday, no words aren't enough to describe your hospitality ???? - RAGHU
Attended this AMAZING EXPERIENCE for my brothers stag party over the weekend as follows - Workers are great NZ ambassors for our country (KIWIANA) - Very Welcoming - Fast efficient service - Cost Efficient - Driver gets a TRIPLE DAB for Hosting ( CHURRRR ) - Fun for all ages Would highly recommed for anyone wanting to get a taste of Aotearoa ( litreally )
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Our driver Nate was really great! Wicked sense of humor, fantastic interactions with everyone and he handled the jet boat like a pro. The ride was exciting, thrilling and so much fun. Best to take a change of clothes though because you'll get totally drenched! My 13 year old son thinks I'm the coolest mum ever for taking us on this and he's super keen to do it again. Thanks heaps!
Easy to find location, ample parking, awesome driver, good fun activity for the whole family!
We decided to do the Auckland Jet for my 25th birthday. We went on the 26th of July at 11am ! Thank you for the best and wettest experience ! Both my partner and I didn’t realise how soaked we would get but thoroughly enjoyed it !
After going on many other Jet boats down south I wasn’t really expecting anything much different but this jet boat was the best I have ever been on. The driver was amazing and even remembered my name throughout the trip. He asked everyone on the boat at the start how wet we wanted to get so we all said very! He didn’t disappoint we got completely soaked. We had to go back to our hotel and get changed we were that wet! The spins and speed were amazing and I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Auckland!
We took my husband for a mid-week birthday trip. He was sufficiently thrilled, and suitably drenched! The driver/host was entertaining and welcoming. You really really need to bring a towel and change of clothes for afterwards. And wear a warm, waterproof jacket! Sunglasses are a great idea too
What a fantastic experience, we had so much fun!
This trip does exceed my expections. As someone who fears water, my initial plan was to kill two bird with one stone- one, challenge myself with a whole day out in the ocean; two, check my first fishing experience. It turned out that I have received more than that. Thanks to our super multitasker Michael and nature, I brought heaps of fish home and let go of some baby ones. Also I was luck enough to go on this trip with a group of big family whose song was healing and brought a positive vibe to the whole journey. You will definitely be amazed by how good Michael is in calmly helping 16 people out simultaneously as his name was called all the time to solve the fishing relevant issues. Highly recommend. Just remember to bring your music or entertainment as it takes some time travelling to where fish lives
My nine years old daughter and her friend had a blast! swimming at the Ocean beach, We went for a quick walk check out the Island. Beach is just stunning. Thank you The Red boats team they are super friendly, three volenteer ladies at kiosk are friendly too! We will definitely return :)
If we could give Sunkiss 6 stars it would not be enough. The quality of our adventure came down to Karen and Russell the husband and wife owner operators. They explained everything before setting off and would occasionally come and talk to everyone as we were sailing. A very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The drinks were affordably priced and the included meal was outrageously delicious. Well worth the money, highly recommend.
We loved our trip to Motuihe Island - the ferry staff were friendly and helpful (especially with our gear, and our youngest being seasick on the trip over) and great about pointing out interesting sights along the trip. The island itself is gorgeous and the little shop with tea/coffee/ice cream was a welcome surprise!
Hi Russel & Karen! Hope you both are doing well. You both are amazing! Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality, no words to describe and special thanks for the cake for my wife's birthday & absolutely delicious food to taste ! I would definitely recommend this sun-kissed activity to my friends & colleagues! Woody is lovely & had a good time with him ?! Finally, thank you so much for making my day memorable, I will remember this forever. I left the yacht with a heavy heart?! I will definitely be back to do this activity again! To whomsoever reading this review! I strongly recommend taking your loved ones for this activity and you won't regret it. With love, Raghu ?
Thank you so much Russel, Karen and Woody for such an incredible experience! You made us feel welcome and the sailboat was amazing. I wish I could give a higher rating because you definitely deserve it! The views on the harbour sailing under the bridge was magnificent. We were lucky enough to have a great view of the fireworks display for Guy Fawkes whilst enjoying a copious and flavoursome dinner. I’ve got to say, that beef has got to be one of the best we’ve had! Dessert was fabulous too! Karen and Russel are very accomodating and lovely people. My husband and I could not recommend this cruise enough! Thank you once again and we definitely be back!
We are so glad we went there. Such a beautiful Island and the weather was perfect!
