Rayz On The Bay - Paihia

Nice establishment for a cold drink and food on the Paihia waterfront. Both inside and outside seating areas. Great out in the sun kicking back and relaxing. Friendly staff.

I came here on New Years Eve 2021/2022 and the staff bend over backwards to look after me and provided Excellent Service. The meal was huge and delicious. Thank you

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and yummy food. Most of the tables are facing the beach. Its the perfect spot to have a beer and chat with friends

After a successful fishing charter in Paihia with Blue Sea Charters, the recommendation by skipper Andrew wad to take the fillets fish to Rayz on the Bay where they will cook it up for you. Rays charge $10 per fillet, and add what ever else you want I.e. chips for extra. They cook your fish what ever style; we had ours battered and it was awesome. Highly recommended, would have been 5 stars of it wasn't for the bar girl who seemed liked she didn't want to be there and wasn't prepared to be too helpful.

Lovely lady/owner (I think). Made us feel very welcome and we had a nice chat, with cold beer. Great price too. Watch out for the old fella though, seems to be playing the miserable old guy attitude a bit too well. Lighten up bro! You have a lovely place and a beautiful dog. Things could be much worse.
