JARKS

I, Marianne, grew up in Palmerston North and in 1991, while holidaying at Aramoana Beach, Central Hawkes Bay, I met and fell in love with a Hawkes Bay boy named Peter. He was a born and bred Napier boy, living most of his childhood in his family home in Maraenui. He had two sons who I quickly came to adore. Some years later we married and went on to have twin daughters to complete the family unit... We had dreamed of opening our own restaurant & had done a lot of catering work for others so decided we should take the gamble and open a place together. With a passion for the ocean we searched the North Island coast and eventually bought a property at Waimarama Beach, a small coastal town just 20 minutes from Havelock North. In 2007, after a few hiccups in the building process, we finally opened JARKs Surfside Café, Bar & Restaurant at Waimarama Beach... Tuesday to Saturday (inclusive) from 11am - 9pm for lunch and dinner service (snacks in between)
