Three Seven Two (372)

Three Seven Two is named for the first three numbers of the Waiheke phone number, and it’s something of a metaphor for this cheerful beach spot, right across the road from Onetangi. It’s a sprawling space with a big dining room – terracotta tiles and blond wood chairs – along with a big outdoor area of long tables under white tablecloths. The menu, by the excellent Bronwen Laight, is produce-driven and seasonal.

Oyster Inn

An award-winning beachside bistro with three gorgeous guest rooms. Situated on stunning Waiheke Island, The Inn’s perfectly located in the heart of Oneroa village, with gorgeous views across the bay.

Whether you are settling in for a weekend lunch with friends, a night away, or simply a crisp glass of wine at the bar, this is just the spot for you.

Since opening Oyster Inn has become a Waiheke institution, much-loved by the resident locals, our regular Auckland visitors and those visiting from further afield. Just a 35 minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland, there’s no traffic jams getting here.

Waiheke Distilling Co.

Waiheke Distilling Co is set on the ridge above Cowes Bay (formerly Pikau Bay). The distillery has been respectfully established to sit alongside and meld within structures that resonate the farming history of the area. Former pasture land has been painstakingly developed into a garden that exemplifies the botanical story of the product produced, bottled and served onsite.

Visit Waiheke Distilling Co and have first hand experience through their amazing tours of the distillery! Go and experience the best gin on the island, with an amazing location providing beautiful views.

The Heke

Four acres of beautiful gardens surround The 'HEKE Kitchen, a relaxed place for groups, or a family & dog friendly restaurant where the chefs prepare your food over glowing wood fires. Alongside this they are currently building a spectacular new brewery, distillery and tasting room. The 'HEKE is the new home for the growing craft distillery and craft brewery on Waiheke Island.
