This is a great place at which to eat, then chill out on the beach, dive off the pontoon or check out Marae Taputapuatea next door. The food is good and copious, but is definitely more home-style than haute cuisine. Wash down your fish brochettes or coconut curry with an ice-cold coconut. There's also a good kids' menu.
