A short drive will take us to gorgeous Onetangi beach, the location of our hosted lunch - the stunning Three Seven Two restaurant.
We thought long & hard about sharing our ‘local’ with you, but hey, how could we not?!!
Multi-award winning food with a truly glorious beachside view! We’ll enjoy shared breads & olive oil, then a main course of your choice accompanied by complimentary wine, beer, cider or soft drink from their extensive menu.
Oh and if available on the day, why not add on some world famous Te Matuku oysters?!
After lunch we can enjoy a stroll on the golden sands of Onetangi beach, grabbing some pics & enjoying the wondrous South Pacific sea air!

Waiheke Distilling Co. which boasts some of the most stunning panoramic views on the island. In the setting of their beautiful garden bar & woolshed we’ll taste hand crafted boutique gin or botanical vodka served tasting board style with premium mixers, ice & garnishes. To accompany we will have gourmet bruschetta cooked up by resident chef extraordinaire Alberto. We think a trip out to Waiheke Distilling Co. is a true gem of the island!
