Inspired by the laid-back coastal lifestyle, we wanted to create a place where everyone could unwind, enjoy fresh, locally-sourced dishes, and feel right at home 🏡

Our menu’s always evolving with new takes on classic Kiwi flavours, seasonal dishes, and a world kitchen twist that keeps things exciting. At The Surf Shack, we’re all about good food, good vibes, and welcoming everyone to explore something new with each bite.

We’re stoked to be ranked number one at Waihī Beach and are in the top 10% of restaurants worldwide on Tripadvisor for delivering a consistently epic customer experience since 2016 🥳
​
We have also been included in the ‘Limited Edition Insiders Guide to NZ.’

We support the amazing CanSurf every year and feed the whānau with our famous pancakes. ​

CanSurf Waihī Beach offers a respite weekend to young people from CanTeen, a peer support network for young people and siblings living with cancer.

The camp is held in November each year, and relies on community partnerships, donations and volunteers to share a unique experience of what the Waihī Beach community has to offer.

For every ‘Ha-Waihī Beach Surf Burger’ sold, we will donate $1 to the dedicated local Surf Life Saving Waihī Beach.
