The maori word for ‘puna’ is spring of water. For countless kiwis ‘Takapuna” means icecreams and sand castles washed by salty waves; walking along a crescent of sand so golden writers shape plays around it; wind surfing a molten sea with a volcano named Rangitoto on the horizon; wandering the sandy kilometre shaped like a smile and knowing that you are part of a community of people who love this place, this beach; Takapuna. ‘Main Beach Takapuna’ draws these memories and magic together into one original venue; the only location this close to Takapuna Beach, with three restaurants that cater to your tastebuds; whether it’s a craft beer at Franc’s, Regatta’s relaxed bistro dining watching the wave walkers, or a destination experience of modern Japanese at Tokyo Bay.
