“We hosted our Valentine’s Special screening of O’ Romeo at Silky Otter Takanini, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Kezza, the manager, greeted us so warmly and had everything set up exactly the way we needed. She even handled last‑minute changes with a smile, and her passion for what she does really showed. Our guests felt genuinely looked after from the amazing ambience to the food and drinks delivered right to their seats. The whole evening felt premium and personal, and it truly gave everyone a VIP experience. A huge thank you to Kezza and the Silky Otter team for making our inaugural film event such a memorable one. We’re already looking forward to working with you again! - CFI Events & Tashi Events with our distribution partner Forum Films)”

“Great dining and cafe experience. Friendly staff, who go out of their way to make us feel welcome. We go there every week for a coffee and meal since the cafes close at 5. Try the loaded wedges. Today we had Quesadillas and are hooked. Well done Chef. Great place to meet up with my friend in a safe environment. Well done Silky.”

Amazing day at Silky Otter Takanini. The Michael Hill gift vouchers were a wonderful surprise, much appreciated!”
