Absolutely marvellous venue with high class menu and beverages. On the very expensive side but perfect for a bit of indulgance. Off the beaten track but this added to it's charm

We returned to Sage and found it even better than the last visit. The wines are getting wow, the 21 Syrah, ( dark crimson, olives and blueberry with a peppery finish ) and 21 Chard ( beautiful struck match nose, peach , vanilla, citrus flavors ) . Wonderful service and fine dining as usual , love the mix of local and exotic flavors. Well done to everyone involved we will be back!

Yes, this is great fine dining, but we liked Terra in Paihia more, as there were just more flavors and combinations going on. We were staying in Paihia, so it was an adventure to get here, especially when weather is bad and the ferry isn't running. The wine pairings were really nice and service was friendly and attentive.

The venue is lovely - we had a nice table outside with a beautiful view overlooking the bay.
The food was impeccable, everyone (in our party of eight!) really enjoyed their meals; the crayfish was my personal choice and it was lovely.
There was a very good selection of reasonably priced wines available by the glass.
The desert menu is definitely worth a look (try the pancotta) .
The service was attentive and helpful and i thought the prices were very reasonable.

Great restaurant ; highly recommended; one of the best meals we have had in New Zealand!

Beautiful spot - on the veranda which felt as though we were round a friend's for dinner. Deliciously fresh and locally sourced ingredients, lovely wine and cocktails. Best meal I've had in a long time.
