Description

Discover a new world as you gaze down on The Glass House, hovering like a coloured jewel beside the vineyard, cantilevered over the waterlily-fringed lake. This unique building is open daily year round, where you can choose to taste our range of wines, enjoy a glass as you relax on our generous decks or simply purchase bottles to take home. We're excited to offer you our fresh new menu, showcasing local produce and seasonal ingredients. Do come and experience dishes that we love and flavours we are passionate about. Download the Menu> This is truly a building for all seasons as you watch the birdlife on the lake on a summer's afternoon, or feel the fury of winter as the rain lashes the lake and sends the overflow beneath you in a veritable waterfall. Metres away are the vines, with the building's transparency letting you possibly observe the pruning process, leaf-plucking, fruit thinning, and if the time is right, the harvest itself!

A gorgeous spot, lovely food and welcome

We visited with friends who live nearby and were really impressed with the food, setting (outside under the vines) and rose. Shared platters are the way forward and the food not only looked gorgeous but tasted fab. The sculptures were also stunning.

Great food in an awesome location

We enjoyed lunch at Brick Bay with friends from the US who absolutely raved about the squid dish. Crispy fried and tender. Service staff were very friendly, informative and helpful. It was an all round great experience. Highly recommend

Thank Dave B

Thanks for the lovely review! We hope you visit again soon - the squid will be waiting :)

Rose sunshine

Fabulous setting overlooking the lake scattered with divine water lily flowers and waka feature brightly shining in the afternoon summer sun. Delicious small plates a definite must and accompanied with their much sought after rose a great way to spend an afternoon

Thank Anna F

Snooty, unrelaxed and no real food after 3.

Third time we’ve visited Brick Bay and it will be the last. Had family visiting from UK and wanted to show them one of our favourite venues. Turned out to be a bad choice. Booked table for 3pm as wanted to go to Matakana market...More

Great setting for a birthday bash, but ........

We gathered on a fine sunny day in January to celebrate my wife's birthday. The staff service and the ambience were top rate. The setting superb. The food came out for 6 of us pretty much together and the we tucked in. Nice and tasteful...More

When in a glass house.....

This was our first time at Brick Bay Glass House Kitchen. The architecture is amazing. the service was friendly and accommodating. We intended for coffee only but got talked into shared desserts - great call on the waiter's part! Deliciously different

Thank Wendy and Albie N

Thanks for your great review, we think our deserts are pretty good too ;) Visit again soon!
