"We had noticed there were plenty of Dutch people living and visiting here, but there didn’t seem to be a Dutch restaurant anywhere. When we moved to New Zealand I knew I wanted to make a business filling that gap, which is why we started the restaurant."
"People often ask me ‘you’re successful, what drives you?’ and my answer is: being Dutch.
My Dutch heritage drives me every day. It has given me perseverance, stubbornness and despite having a severe disability
it makes me want to achieve and succeed every day."
"We help young people, give them an unforgettable, once-in-a-life experience and it’s a win-win for everyone. That and makes me very happy, it’s really cool work to do."
“A lot of these kids are bilingual and some even trilingual. We think it’s fantastic that we can teach them about their heritage and give them an opportunity to keep up with their Dutch culture."
