Deckchair is now Beach Hut Cafe — Restaurant in Bay of Plenty

I have never eaten here so I can't account for the food or drink. However I would like to give a huge THANK YOU to the lady owner and her daughter. My wife and I were in Tauranga for her sons wedding in August. We had been using Uber/Llyft with no problem. Unbelievably when we really needed it to get to the wedding there were none available. I asked a fellow who looked like he was from Tauranga that I'd pay him to take us to the wedding. He said he would be couldn't because he was making deliveries. I was trying to figure out another way to get to the wedding to no avail. The fellow, Duncan, came up a minute later and said the lady who owns Deckchair would give us a ride. She came out and saw my wife in tears and ran back inside to get her some tissues and then we were underway. We got to the wedding on time thanks to her kindness and Duncan's effort. It's the first time I've been to NZ and found it to be wonderful in every way. Again thank you for helping us out and we'll be sure to...

Was very disappointed today , took my daughter who is over from Australia to my favourite beach side cafe. It was 12 MIDDAY !! we luckily got the last 2 date scones (for which most people come to the cafe ) ordered 2 seafood chowder to be told 2 mins later that it was sold out???? We had already paid and was asked to order something else which we did our meals were OK but not what we went there for. I was the head chef of a restaurant for many years and know that your popular dishes should not run out when lunch has just begun!!!! To add insult to injury as we were leaving we were asked to pay an extra amount as the meal we MADE DO with cost more that the chowder. I was stunned as you took our money and could not provide what we had paid for you should have had the good grace to carry the extra few dollars for good customer relations. It seems to me that the cafe is under new management and they are unable to cope!!! Won't be going back...

3 Breakfast orders plus coffees, first impressions, should have left then, unsmiling server, coffees mixed up, asked us to try one to see if it was the right one!! What if it wasn't? Coffees were lukewarm, Eggs bene pretty much 2 eggs on 2 muffins $4.50 extra for bacon, The DC big breakfast was cold baked beans, a dark brown potato rosti? 1/2 a breakfast sausage sliced lengthways, 6 small button mushrooms some tomato chutney/relish, only saviour was the eggs. Would not recommend, most disappointing breakfasts/meals I've had in Tauranga, 80+...
