The dining experience here is incredible. Aaron's passion for food truly shines through in the flavors. We have a standing reservation every Friday, and it's definitely something I eagerly anticipate each week. Plus, Aaron is a great guy! View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Te Aroha Place:
Food ok ....desserts were excellent ....but the fact we were charged a 20% GST on top of the bill.....which is not stated on the menu or anywhere else on the premises ...is a joke. Don't know anywhere in hospitality where the GST is not already included in the price.... Also took 10 phone calls before I was answered to find out what the extra charge on my bill was...... no eftpos so take cash with you. View all feedback.
