A Culinary Journey Through the Stars
Matariki marks the rising of a star cluster that has guided New Zealanders for generations — a time to remember those we have lost, to give thanks for the present, and to celebrate what lies ahead.
This July, Eight honours that spirit with a buffet experience inspired by the nine stars of the Matariki constellation. Each station has been thoughtfully curated to reflect what its star watches over — the land and its harvest, the sea and its bounty, the warmth of fire, and the nourishment that comes from gathering together.
More than a meal, this is a moment. A chance to slow down, connect with the people around you, and mark the Māori New Year in the most delicious way we know how.
Come gather. Come reflect. Come feast.
When: Tuesday 7 July to Sunday 12 July
Lunch (Saturday): $79 per adult | $39.50 per child
Dinner: $119 per adult | $59.50 per child
Under-4’s dine free of charge.
