Our Story
At Schnappa Rock, we’re all about fresh, local flavour. We use spray-free produce from our own garden, line-caught fish, free-range eggs, and ingredients sourced from around Te Tai Tokerau — like Glenbervie avocados, Dargaville kumara, Ruakaka pāua, and Haku kingfish.
Our gardeners, Tim and James, work tirelessly using organic practices to grow fresh, seasonal produce that inspires creativity from paddock to plate — a true reflection of the rich bounty of our region. We are passionate about contributing to the evolving local food story here in Tutukaka.
We were stoked to win Best Destination Venue at the 2025 Hospitality NZ Awards and we love sharing our little piece of paradise with you. Experience the taste of Northland at Schnappa Rock. Be sure to check out our food map to see where the good stuff comes from!
