We often go there on a Sunday brunch particularly during the winter months. We really the relaxing upper level where can look over the water. Food is usually good depending on the ideas of changing chefs. Not up to the standards of 4 or 5 years ago but still a good Sunday brunch stop.

Enjoyed lunch here from an extensive menu and the food tasted good - I had a feta & spinach scroll with a salad. A good coffee. The service was friendly and prompt and the prices were moderate. We were also able to sit outside and enjoy the Whakatane sunshine! Will be back to enjoy some more!

All cooked to order and rather too large portions! Would last you all day! We ordered our breakfast from the villa for a certain time but it was never ready, they started to cook it when we arrived.

This is not the same old boring food you often get. It was beautifully presented, tasted just as good and was reasonably priced. The coffee was great too. Nice atmosphere in the place and even though it was busy at the time with people going to White Island it didn't overwhelm enjoyment of others.

On our recent trip to Whakatane we had breakfast at Pee Jays on our first morning, and returned twice! Good menu - lots of choice - and good value.

have eaten here on numerous occasions and in the past it has been very good. However our visit on the 30/12/12 was disppointing I had an extreme breakfast which was anything but, I assume they have a new or relieving chef, coffee and service was good.
