The Waterline Restaurant and Beach Bar

Thank you Chris (and Armin) for your fun vibes, great conversations and wonderful hospitality. See you next time. Clarissa, Josie and Ashleigh x

Booked a table for one at the Waterline Restaurant and was stoked to be sat in a prime spot with amazing sun set views. Such lovely hospitality. Really enjoyed my meal and loved the atmosphere the owners have created here. Thank you for a wonderful meal

Came here for a birthday dinner. Book ahead if you want to come during sunset hours - they’re often fully booked. We came after the sunset and the restaurant was still very busy. Parking can get tight during dinner service. Food was delicious and the portion sizes were very generous, although the prices are higher than most other restaurants on the island.

Our best experience in Rarotonga, love the cat! Friendly service and the best food. Such nice people

This place has the best island fries! The cocktails we had were also very tasty and quite cheap. There's also a cute cat that comes to say hello to you as you're eating. Great atmosphere and awesome decoration around the restaurant, chill vibes and lovely staff.

I would say 4.5 if I could.
Great friendly service, good food and location.
Had the sizzling chicken on rice

The service was excellent and very friendly. You should not miss it if you come to Rarotonga. I had the fish of the day, yellow fine tuna seared rare, it was amazing.

Probably one of the top 3 restaurants on the island. We didn't have a booking but they were able to accommodate us and even with a table overlooking the beach. The menu was limited but delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful with selections. We had a number of starters, with the tuna and chicken fpr mains. Their lemon cake dessert was one of the best desserts I've ever had. The prices reflect the quality of the food, but their happy hour cocktails were cheap and delicious.

Fun place to dine at. Chris, the owner is very friendly and obliging. We arrived at midday, when the place was closed due to a cyclone. Chris opened up and in no time, we were sharing a top quality NZ wine!
Be a great place to dine at night, as the dining area is built right over the shoreline, but high enough not to get wet!

We had a magical Sunday evening at Waterline. Great spot to watch the sunset, good food and drinks, and great musicians. We were probably more lucky than most with other musicians in the audience joining in, but the atmosphere at Waterline certainly encouraged such fun. A highlight of our visit to Rarotonga.

A tropical gem tucked away in an incredible location a few steps above the sand! Don't miss the Ika mana starter (ceviche in coconut cream served with island fries) although I wish I had left room to try dessert.

What a cool place! Loved the unique location, perfect for magical sunsets and a drink. The food was also amazing. We loved the hard work that went into setting up this beautiful place. A must in Raro!

Very nice place directly on the beach. Chris and his crew are very friendly. The prices are ok and the food is very good. We went several times. I can recommend it.

Also very nice place for dinner and sundowner! Little tricky to find but worth the search! Food very good (had catch of the day)! Lookout very nice. If you want sit in the front just male a reservation. Ca definitely recommend!

Awesome view, good staff real friendly, food was awesome, who ever put 1 star on this review was crazy this food was tasty fresh and cooked well

Our favorite restaurant on the island. We went there 3 days in a row. Very nice atmosphere, right on the beach, nice service and good food. Recommended.

Best restaurant in raro, the steak melts in your mouth, we went back the very next night, the tuna was excellent

Tom and I just got married at the Waterline and everything was just perfect. The food, the setting, the staff and Chris and Akissi are the very best hosts. Thank you so much for your help in creating the perfect day xx

The food here is a very low standard, very disappointing don’t be fooled by the good reviews like I was.our food was cold and just not worth $30! Zero flavour, something you would serve up in the 80s. The staff were very nice so maybe just come here to have a drink and watch the sun set.

My wife and I ate here and enjoyed our food. Service is good, and the owner will even come to nearby lodgings to pick you up and take you to the restaurant, and back. Dining is right on the beach. Nice place.
