The Marina Cafe & Restaurant sits at the heart of Marsden Cove Marina, a waterfront dining experience where the views are as much part of the appeal as the food itself. It’s become a destination for locals and visitors alike who value a genuine waterfront meal.
The location is exceptional. Set right on the marina, you’re surrounded by yachts, launches and boats while taking in views over the water and across to Mt Manaia. Whether you’re a boating enthusiast or simply someone who loves a good waterfront setting, the backdrop makes the whole experience special.
The menu covers brunch, lunch, and dinner options, plus light cafe choices throughout the day. There are options available for gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diets, so there’s something for everyone at the table. The cafe serves quality coffee, the kind that pairs well with the waterfront atmosphere.
The setup works for all kinds of occasions and gatherings. There’s outdoor seating to take in the views, and the space welcomes families and groups. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and wheelchair access is available.
Being at Marsden Cove Marina, it’s perfectly positioned whether you’re exploring the Bream Bay area or making a stop while heading north. It’s the kind of place worth making a deliberate visit for. The combination of waterfront location, food options, quality coffee, and full licensing makes The Marina Cafe & Restaurant a genuine draw for the region.
Whether you’re after a casual cafe stop, a full meal with a view, or somewhere to settle in for the afternoon, the marina setting and the team’s hospitality create something special. It’s a place that captures what’s great about coastal dining in Northland.
