akarana yacht club cafe

Take a look inside Nic Watt’s newest waterfront venture

Renowned Auckland chef Nic Watt, Executive Chef of MASU in SkyCity, has taken his passion for the ocean and brought it to the waterfront location of Okahu Bay. As part of the development of the Hyundai Marine Sports Centre, Watt has partnered with Akarana Yacht Club to open a brand new restaurant called Akarana Eatery. This newly opened establishment is set to be more than just a place to dine, but a welcoming space for the community to come together.

Akarana Eatery seats a total of 153 patrons but still manages to feel spacious and open. The high ceilings and wide glass windows open up the restaurant, allowing diners to feel comfortable, and the space boasts a clean palette of ocean hues. In terms of the food offerings, Chef Watt has designed a seafood-skewed but not solely focused menu. As a “third-generation boatie,” Watt tells me, he likes to showcase his love for the harbour through his dishes.

The all-day eatery serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the menu features elements which hit a sense of familiarity. The offerings are intriguing, too, as Watt adds his own spin to traditional dishes by pushing gastronomic boundaries, serving them in a way that many people haven’t come across before. This is exemplified in dishes such as the red snapper buffalo wings — a deep-fried fish wing that resonates with a classic fried chicken wing, but the juicy chicken is replaced with a tender fish that cuts like butter. The chicken liver pâté was also another unique experience. Served on a crispy rye waffle instead of a baguette, we especially liked the way the checkered pattern of the waffle acted as cases and borders for the thick and creamy pâté.

Growing up around the Waitemata Harbour since childhood, Chef Watt has always been surrounded by the freshest marine life, leading him to be a big fan of seafood. But it wasn’t until Watt began his ventures in kitchens overseas that he realised the premium quality of New Zealand seafood. During this time he would come back to New Zealand every now and then, after missing his mother’s home-cooking, especially her Yellowbelly flounder — a dish that’s now on the menu at Akarana. Be sure to not skip the tail of the fish, as Watt heavily salts it to achieve an unbelievable level of crispiness and flavour, it’s not to be missed.

Seafood is not the only cuisine you’ll find at Akarana. In fact, some of our favourite dishes didn’t feature anything from the ocean, such as the lamb shank pie. The dish saw a rich and saucy lamb with the bone retained, left peeking through the buttery pastry. Served with smashed peas and a side of gravy, this is a delicious meal of pure comfort. The wood-roasted cauliflower sports a dark colour, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that it’s burnt. Watt cooks them over seasonal wood, which is currently cherry, for a unique aroma and depth in flavour, while they boast a heavenly crackle that is followed by crunchy almonds and creamy garlic mayo. Before you make your way out, don’t forget to get a scoop of Kohu Road ice cream to end your experience on a sweet note, Watt’s favourite is the matcha green tea flavour.

Akarana Eatery officially opens its doors to the public on Saturday, 7th September and the folks at Akarana are making a day out of it. Face painters and a live band will be assisting the launch, setting the tone of an all-inclusive space for everyone to enjoy.

Opening hours: 7 days, 7am until 10pm

Akarana Eatery

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

We visited with a group of 14 for a special occasion. We were very disappointed by the experience. The service was slow and inefficient e.g. did not take drinks orders for everyone, missed some drinks, no topping up of drinks, difficulty getting anyone’s attention, no... recommendations to have sides (when mains small) etc etc. the portions were very small and food was not memorable. The kids fish and chips were brought out first which was appreciated. Kids menus had colouring in but no pens / crayons brought out which caused a few meltdowns. There were some but had to wander the restaurant to find ourselves. Location was good and decor nice but a bit mixed with people dressed up for a dining experience and other people wandering around barefoot in wetsuits to use the toilets. I guess when you are spending a fair amount on the food and drinks, I would expect more of a positive experience and not leaving disappointed. I did email the restaurant directly afterwards to outline my concerns but have not heard back. Just an acknowledgement would have been good! Anyway my first negative review ever but hope it helps them to improve. More

We have had coffee, lunch and drinks on a number of occasions here. The food is reasonable, if not light on portions relative to the prices. However, the over-riding impression is one of very disorganised service. They have a "system" whereby no one specific waitperson... is allocated to the table. As a result, on our various visits, we have had three people in quick succession all asking for our orders, not knowing they have already been placed. At the other end of the spectrum, we have been ignored for around 15 minutes when waitstaff have been clearly available, and when finally catching a waiter's attention, his manner was very curt. Embarrassing, as we had guests with us. Based on other aspects of this establishment, such as the table settings with fresh flowers, the lovely environment with outdoor tables, genuine friendliness and engagement from almost all the staff, we expected a more professional, organised system of service. We hope this can be addressed with some urgency, as we otherwise enjoy it, especially the location and outlook over the harbour. More

What a wonderful location. Great views and a plus being lots of parking. A warm welcome but you could only describe the service as amateur. The food was good..ish but certainly fully priced in fact probably over priced. My wife thought her salmon fillet at... $30 was rather small. My burrata was large but not very tasty. More

Such a beautiful location, but the food and Service are terrible! We don’t mind paying 15% surcharge on a Public Holiday, but we do then expect a reasonable service. The coffee’s we ordered finally arrived just before the food. The eggs and bacon were well... below average and looked totally unappetizing. The eggs were served on two huge slices of Sourdough, barely toasted, no butter, the Bacon was steamed and very fatty. Pancakes were OK but nothing great. Will not go back. More

6 of us went for lunch at noon. we were offered coffees 15 minutes after arriving and notified of the additions to the menu. We did not order coffee! Service was non existent, portions minute and over priced. One $28 measly pie with half a... spoon of mushy peas, no chips or salad, the pie was no better than a $5.00 Big Ben Pie. Small glass of ginger beer $6.00 which is $1.50 in the supermarket per bottle! It took ages for the meal to be served, when there was only a few tables occupied. Not worth the time to write any more. Prices overly expensive for lack of service and quantity. Never again! Side order arrived after all had finished the meal, it was sent back. No wonder there were so few customers. More

This is a new eatery and one worth trying. The location is spectacular, a lovely spacious feel, altho very noisy, so may be an issue for someone with hearing problems. The food was delicious, altho the portion sizes are small - I was fine, but... for hungry chaps definitely not enough, especially at the prices. Lovely staff, although maybe need a little more knowledge on some of the dishes, not their fault I would say, but the training given by management. We went in the evening, I would also like to try a brunch during the day and have the opportunity to sit outside. More

Great location, lovely outlook. Orders the corn fritters which was ok only. Also three small slices of gluten free bread $9 and no butter, a tad on the high side, when we buy a loaf of the same for $10. Coffee was lovely. Service ok.... Would we return? Probably not, shame really. More

Friendly service but very disappointing food. Very few options for vegetarians. The risotto was literally a plate of rice and peas-this was returned to the kitchen and refunded. Fish and chips very average. Such a shame we’d heard good things about this place -but we... won’t be returning. More

Been 2 days in a row as the location is so good. Yesterday had breakfast and not once in 45 minutes do we get any proactive service. Had to get our own water, menus and then get up to find someone to order food and... coffee. Today we ordered coffee and 35 minutes later after chasing twice we got told they lost out order. More

First time there as a local. Was worried about the average reviews everywhere which I think are very unfair hence this review. Beautiful location - lovely views would be great place to take tourists for lunch. It’s quite pricey although I saw a lot of... tables having the $72 platter between them which looked like excellent value and would feed 4 adults easy. We shared the mussel croquettes for entree which was a large delicious dish and would be sufficient as a small main. Then I had fish and chips at $29 which was delicious teraki and husband had market fish / snapper - at $39 which he refused to share. Pricey but yum. Apparently is happy hour at 3pm. Service was perfect. I recommend this place. If money is an issue get the platter, sit outside with a couple of beers More

This is a great position, especially on a fine day. Right by waters edge. Top atmosphere. Arrived around 11:30 am to find nearly all of the unoccupied tables had "reserved" sign on them. Staff of little assistance in finding suitable seating. And, as other reviewers... have commented, had to fetch our own water and menus. Slow to take orders too. Good selections from menus for breakfast (to 12 noon) and lunch (from 12 noon). However, although it was almost noon when orders taken, wait staff couldn't cope with us ordering from the lunch menu. Most peculiar. The mushroom dish and the banana pancake were great. Coffees ok but served in 'tiny' cups. Would return but maybe book in advance with timing to suit menu preference. More

We chose Akarana Eatery for a special occasion. The view is superb, the food was very good but the service was really poor and made for a frustrating experience which rather spoilt our happy occasion. Off-hand, dis-interested, sour-faced waiters set the mood followed by lost... orders in ‘the system’, forgotten requests for simple things like salt and the grumpy manner just kept coming. It was embarrassing for my guests and it was unpleasant and uncomfortable. It is one of the best locations in Auckland and I’m not sure I will ever bother coming back. It’s not cheap but you get friendlier and more efficient service in a cheap pub! More

The view and location are stunning. The restaurant and service really let this place down. 45 min wait for our meals, no water offered. Cold fish and chips (although edible) for $36, lemon was rotten and dried out so I asked for some fresh- a... slice (not a wedge) was brought to me in the serving staff's hand. Chicken was overcooked and dry. After our meals no dessert or coffee was offered for over 15 mins so we left and went elsewhere. Could be great but offering food at high end prices you would expect top notch food and service. More

Booked for a table of 4 for lunch. As noted by other reviewers (wished I had read the reviews before we went!) the service was non-existant. In fact the lack of attention was just rude. Food was average - slices for dessert were lacking in... taste. We nearly walked out as we waited over 50mins to get any service. By the end of our lunch we wished we had! I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking that the lack of service may be due to the Covid19 situation and the requirement for social distancing, but reading these reviews it is clear that this is a common theme. Despite the fantastic location, we will not be back. More

As per the title, the location is lovely, although watch out for ridiculous parking charges, look for the free parking just outside. The food is nice, not fantastic, but nice. The restaurant has tiled or concrete floors and Gard walls so the sound can get... loud quite easily. When its busy (and they often have functions) it is very noisy. There is a lovely area outside to eat and kids can play there too. Prices are reasonable, maybe a little on the high side. Overall worth a visit and I hope as the business gets feedback they will deal with some of the suggestions listed by others on improvements they can make regarding the service. More

New Opening: Nic Watt's Akarana Eatery Is Okahu Bay's New Waterfront Dining Destination

Chef and restaurateur Nic Watt is set to open another crowd-pleasing eatery and this time it's all about the sea.

Perched on the picturesque waterfront location of Okahu Bay, Akarana Eatery has been inspired by Nic's love of seafood and boating. And with the stunning views out to Waitemata Harbour Nic says they're Auckland's best it will be a hard-to-beat spot in summer.

The all-day eatery and bar will be open to the public from September 7 and is part of the first phase opening of the Hyundai Marine Sports Centre, a new facility and home of the historic Royal Akarana Yacht Club.

So while you're out for a paddleboard or a sail, the well-seasoned team will be whipping up a menu described as "fresh, seasonal, and approachable".

Seven days a week, the 153-seat eatery will dish out Allpress coffee, Kohu Rd icecream, and a selection of grab-and-go items from freshly baked croissants to baguettes as well as an a la carte menu with a strong seafood lean, with fish and chips, freshly shucked oysters, clams and tua tuas, and whole roasted Kaipara Harbour flounder cooked in the woodfired oven.

A lamb shank pie will cater to meatier cravings, alongside a children's menu of pizzas and mini-mains to keep ankle biters quiet.

The eatery is pushing sustainability, so there are taps for both wine and beer in an effort to reduce the number of bottles used. Nic and the team have also sourced top-quality, sustainable New Zealand seafood for the menu.

"To be able to do something so close to the Waitemata harbour and focus on the provenance of the seafood was, for me, really special," Nic says.

"It’s also an opportunity to showcase some of my childhood being a third-generation boatie. You can literally see and taste the salt water within a few metres from where you will be dining."

• Akarana Eatery is located at the Hyundai Marine Sports Centre, 8-10 Tamaki Drive, Okahu Bay.

Nic Watt opens Akarana Eatery

Hospitality Business September 9, 2019

Chef Nic Watt.

Celebrated chef Nic Watt and the Royal Akarana Yacht Club have partnered at the Hyundai Marine Sports Centre on the shores of Okahu Bay, Auckland  to open Akarana Eatery.

Situated on the water’s edge with circling views of the Waitemata Harbour, Akarana Eatery has been developed as part of the Hyundai Marine Sports Centre, the new home of the historic Royal Akarana Yacht Club.

The all-day eatery and bar opened to the public on September 7 in the first opening phase of the new sports centre.  The new facility aims to provide the wider community with the opportunity to actively participate or spectate in a wide range of marine based activities.

Akarana Eatery brings together fresh, seasonal and approachable dining inspired by its nautical surroundings. It offers a relaxed menu to cater for all occasions available from breakfast through to dinner. For seven days a week, the 153-seat eatery allows diners to grab a coffee, ice-cream, or selection of counter items – from sweet pastries and savoury items to freshly made baguettes – as well as a seasonal à la carte menu that keeps it simple with classics such as fresh-cut fish & chips, a selection of shucked oysters, clams or tua tua, through to house-made lamb shank pies. The centrally located wood fired oven will serve pizza, roasted whole Kaipara Harbour flounder to share, as well as wood roasted arrow squid with garlic, lemon and parsley butter, and a kids focused menu is also available.

Importantly, sustainability is at the heart of Akarana Eatery. With a focus on reducing bottles used in the restaurant industry and consistent with the Hyundai Marine Centre’s commitment to sustainability, taps for both wine and beer have been installed. Nic Watt and the team have also sourced top-quality and sustainable New Zealand seafood for the menu.

Considered one of New Zealand’s leading internationally-acclaimed chefs, Nic Watt’s career has gone from strength to strength. With a background working with international restaurant groups Zuma and Roka, Nic Watt has made a name for himself in New Zealand following the success of celebrated Auckland restaurant, MASU, as well as multiple other restaurants. Chef Nic Watt said of his latest venture: “The Royal Akarana Yacht Club is a premier sailing club and the all-new Hyundai Marine Sports Centre is arguably the top waterfront location in Auckland, perched overlooking the Waitemata Harbour towards Rangitoto.”

Akarana Eatery is located at the Royal Akarana Yacht Club at the Hyundai Marine Sports Centre, 8-10 Tamaki Drive, Okahu Bay, Auckland, 1071.

The oldest vessel in the collection,  Akarana was built in Auckland to compete in Australian regattas 1888-1889.

Akarana is the museum's oldest vessel and is a rare example of a deep, narrow, heavily ballasted racing yachts.

Akarana was built in Auckland to compete in Australian regattas in 1888 and 1889, and is a a fine historic reminder of the friendly and often fierce sailing rivalry between Australia and New Zealand.

Akarana (Maori for 'Auckland') won its race in 1889 Anniversary regatta with a first prize of 20 pounds and 3 cases of Moet & Chandon Champagne. It stayed in Sydney for the next 100 years, then was rebuilt in New Zealand and presented to Australia as a bicentennial gift. In 1997, the museum completed the restoration of Akarana to its 19th-century specifications and glory.

When launched, Akarana was patriotically given the Maori name for Auckland, presented with the burgee of the Auckland Yacht Club and packed off to Melbourne by steamer, accompanied by Logan, his skipper Jack Bell and crew. Other New Zealand yachts had previously fared well in competition on Hobson's Bay, and Akarana's arrival created great interest in yachting circles. In races that were composed of only 5 or 6 entrants, Akarana was competing 'for the honour of New Zealand' against yachts and crews from Melbourne, Sydney and Tasmania. The fine-lined, extremely narrow yacht raised expectations by beating the centreboard yachts of the St Kilda Yacht Club in a challenge race before the Regatta.

Rated at 7 tons with a 5 ton (5.1 tonne) lead keel, Akarana then beat Cooeeana, Madge, Galatea and Pert to first place in the 5-10 ton class race for keel and centreboard yachts. In rougher weather Akarana trailed the fleet when racing against yachts of a similar length, and yachting commentators said that Akarana was more suited to smooth water and light winds.

Robert Logan then took his yacht to Sydney to compete in the National Regatta on Anniversary Day, January 1889. Skippered by Dick Hellings, Akarana won the principle event of the day, an open race for the first prize of 20 pounds and three cases of Moet and Chandon champagne, beating Sydney yachts Assegai, Sirocco and Iolanthe. Logan then sold Akarana to Sydney chemist John Abraham who sailed with the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron.

The yacht remained in Sydney for the next 100 years, passing through several owners and many changes. These included progressive reduction of the rig, loss of the lovely counter stern, and modifications to the keel and rudder resulting in shallower draft and much-reduced ballast. The original lead keel was removed in the mid 1920s, and not replaced until a smaller section of lead was added in the 1950s.

Restoration

Akarana's speedy reconstruction in New Zealand, to return the yacht to Australia for the 1988 Bicentennial celebrations, allowed little time to research its former configuration. The stern was rebuilt but the underwater body remained in cut-down form. During its first 10 years at the museum Akarana lacked stability and was unable to carry full sail.

The yacht was taken from the water in 1997-98 in a year-long project to return it as close as possible to its original design. Intensive research into designer-builder Robert Logan's work and 19th-century yacht-building practices, plus records and oral histories of Akarana's century in Australia, was combined with analysis as the modified lead keel, rudder and other structures were removed. All provided clues about the original configuration.

With a new 5-tonne lead keel, with deadwood and rudder rebuilt to a deeper and more efficient profile, plus adjustments to the spars and sails, Akarana returned to the water with greatly improved sailing performance. This was the first such major research and restoration project undertaken by the museum, and for a year it allowed visitors to the South Wharf to view 19th-century shipwrighting at first hand.
