Schnappa Rock Restaurant & Bar is a restaurant on the marina at Tutukaka, on Northland's east coast. According to its website, it opens Tuesday to Sunday from 8am until late.
The venue says its kitchen draws on spray-free produce from its own garden, line-caught fish and free-range eggs, alongside regional suppliers it names, including Glenbervie avocados, Dargaville kumara, Ruakākā pāua and Haku kingfish. Separate dinner, lunch, kids, bar, takeaway and drinks menus are listed. A seasonal "Trust the Chef" tasting menu is advertised for May to October, in six or eight courses, with optional wine pairings. There is a full bar with its own drinks menu.
The restaurant promotes special events such as wine tastings, seafood dinners and garden-to-table experiences. It says it featured on TVNZ's Off the Grid with Colin & Manu in July 2024 and that it won Best Destination Venue at the 2025 Hospitality NZ Awards. Its website does not state function or group capacities, so planners should contact the venue directly on 09 434 3774 or at info@schnapparock.co.nz to discuss group bookings.
