EXCLUSIVE TO CHOW LUCK CLUB: COMPLIMENTARY POOL ACCESS WITH SEAFOOD PLATTER A trip to Karaka has become a must-do this November, and it’s not because of the Melbourne Cup or extended Halloween parties at Spookers.
To celebrate the start of the warmer summer days, DoubleTree by Hilton Auckland Karaka is inviting all Chow Luck Club members to afternoons of fun and relaxation - offering exclusive complimentary pool access with orders of its premium seafood platter (priced at $150, plus $4.50 handling fee) at the hotel’s Ethereal Restaurant Artisan Kitchen.
The feast is literally the ocean’s bounty on a plate and includes New Zealand crayfish thermidor, seared scallops, Moreton Bay bugs in garlic butter, tiger prawns, Clevedon oysters, octopus salad, squid steak and a side of store-cut fries.
After savouring the sumptuous spread and delightful array of seafood, make the most of your afternoon in the pool to add a perfect touch to a relaxing Karaka day escape.
Ethereal, the restaurant, is named after the New Zealand thoroughbred racehorse that won the 2001 Melbourne Cup.
Although it is more famous for its aged meats, it launched a seafood menu over winter, curated by executive chef Jinu Abraham.
Also available are classics like fish and chips and Clevedon oysters, to the more fanciful, such as spanner crab croquettes, salt and pepper squid with Sichuan pepper and aioli and creamy tuna and caper mousse.
There’s also the creamy seafood chowder topped with pan-fried fish, smoked salmon confit with beetroot and tonka bean mayo, grilled tiger prawns and beetroot king salmon with pumpkin.
Why DoubleTree by Hilton Auckland Karaka is the place to be this summer

It’s close enough to home, yet it gives you that holiday getaway feeling without the hassle of waiting at airports or risking cancelled flights due to the recent crazy weather patterns.
Ethereal Restaurant Artisan Kitchen is a top spot in Auckland to experience paddock-to-plate dining, and now also ocean-to-plate.
The restaurant showcases New Zealand-grown and harvested ingredients that support farmers, fishermen and small businesses in the region.
The menu is creative, zesty and fresh, meaning every meal is a treat. The new seafood platter is, of course, a must-try.
The exclusive Chow Luck Club deal means you can enjoy a soothing and relaxing afternoon by the pool with your family or pals.
