Review The Dunes Golf Club Restaurant - Whitianga

Yummy pizza, great service.

if you ever go to matarangi, be sure to visit this place. i went for a holiday to kuaotunu and towards the end of the holiday i decided to have lunch here. this is easily the best meal i’ve had while visiting this part of the north island. I had the chicken wings, and the serving size was huge, and the wings were both very crispy and juicy. it was also so much less crowded than Luke’s Kitchen for example. Definitely recommend!

We were very lucky to have been able to secure what seemed to have been the last table for the night as we had not made a reservation. After a bit of confusion at the outset as to whether they could accommodate us, we had a couple of drinks, a great meal and the staff were friendly - especially the young waitress that looked after us! Good menu, good selection of drinks and very popular it seems with the locals.

My partner and I stayed there for 2 nights, we had an absolutely amazing time! The appartment was fantastic with all the utilities, view on the lake and mountains was amazing especially for sunset. Joe was very helpful and kind! We can't wait to come back!!

Had a great weekend away with the lads. Course a bit worn after the summer trade and np rain. But pretty good considering. Got some nice pizzas and better bar service than we had had before. Thanks Simon.

Great resort, very quiet and secluded. Highly recommended if you need a weekend away. The only complaint was the staff weren't fully onto the booking, after a long flight from Dubai, and driving for 7 hours to get there, the reception was closed with two numbers to dial on the door. I rang the first, got no answer. The other phone number lead me to a guy who was away in Australia. But eventually got it sorated. The place it self is to die for. The lake views from the apartment is breathtaking.

Worked here for the summer, friendly staff, good banter and the best pizza ever! Saw the bar tender mix a drink we didn't even have on the menu and everyone tried very hard to keep the service friendly and helpful.

The place is amazing. With the natural reserve area next to it and the 6 km long it’s hard to find better places to spend the day. We stayed at the Matarangi Villas for 3 weeks and explored from there the peninsula.

Nice picturesque course played with the family. Also a helpful groundsman. Lost my sunglasses and we were able to locate them with help of his quad. Thank you

Amazing course, love the holes definitely will play there again

Welcoming pro shop.. Bar/restaurant very good.. Finishes with a par 3, great to watch whilst enjoying a drink/food... Excellent piece of land...half of the course routing is away from houses... Could have been a top class course had they done fescue turf, had wider fairways to increase the strategy and not sold so much real estate..but I guess it's the compromise made to fund courses.. nevetheless an enjoyable course, pretty vistas & pines, not a whole lot of width, not too long and has some interesting holes/greens... a good package if you're in the area... I'd play again..

We had a lovely family meal. Food was great. Lovely views out over golf course.

So good!!! Course was in amazing condition. Staff work really hard with good equipment to provide an amazing course. Pro shop and bar/ Restaurant staff are great. Thank you
