It is absolutely worth the transportation trickiness to go to Boma! My husband and I tried it for the first time on our trip last March and loved it so much we cancelled an ADR another night to go twice! They're super accommodating (I'm gluten intolerant and had no trouble finding tons of good). What's really great about Boma is that it's just food you won't find anywhere else and it's all done really well.
Plus, to offset the transportation time, I'd plan to spend a little time exploring AKL, it's an absolutely gorgeous hotel and if you go outside there are animal guides who will teach you all about the safari animals on property. The animals come surprisingly close to the fence so it's a great picture opportunity and just a great experience too. You need to be a guest to swim in the pool but you can still roam around and enjoy.
