Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My father, brother-in-law and I had a meal at DK prior to exploring the back country and had good pizza (if pricey) and very good service. After our adventure, we returned to try some other food options and have some beers. Service the second time...was polite, if more cursory (different staff), until I paid the bill. During our meal, I ordered a sour beer, which was on the drinks menu for $9.5. The staff member told me that they didn’t have that option in stock but did have a bigger version for $15. I said ok. The beer came out (can) and I checked it against the menu. It was the menu item. I let the staff member know and they said they weren’t aware and would inform the manager about the menu ‘mistake’. When I paid the bill, I was charged $15. I queried this and the staff member told me “I told you it was $15…we can’t get new menus out tonight”. For the sake of $5.5 in the till, I wonder if it was worth leaving a sourer taste in the customer’s mouth than the beer was able to?More

The Dangerous is the BEST cafe, possibly in New Zealand. We have enjoyed lots of others but Yvonne's place is very special. The coffee is A1 plus and you could not have a more varied and different view to enjoy. Golden Bay is very special...to us, so friendly, so very beautiful and we just love it. The staff are always smiley and friendly, we feel so very much at home. The food is also excellent and if you want a delicious cake with your coffee, try the Friands, they are delicious.More

Couldn’t believe it was fully packed with people on a Wednesday evening, plus the hot air with live music. The pizzas especially the salmon pizza is the best pizza we have ever had around in NZ. Fresh, tasty and lots of salmon! Do hope to...have one in Auckland! Their Dangerous Pizza is also delicious.More
