Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    A must do if on the island ! We did 3 vineyard/top restaurants on the island during our stay and this was definitely the best! Beautiful vineyard and countryside views. Great informative wine tasting by Wendy and then an amazing lunch with some of the most delicious food we have ever had! Thank you Jason for getting us such a lovely table!

    We went for a day trip to Waiheke, which is HIGHLY recommended. This vineyard was absolutely exquisite - wine tastings, environment, architecture, and the wines on the terrace were exceptional. The Francesca Chardonnay was out of this world, and food was delicious.

    This tasting room and vineyard is synonymous with Waiheke. It’s takes a little while if you are doing but with the wee adventure to get there. Great selection of wines, good food, there was a dj playing at the time and we were able to sit back and appreciate the views and atmosphere over some great wines. Worth checking out and defo worth booking.

    I took the Fullers360 Ferry from the harbor to get to Waiheke Island. It will drop you off at the Matiatia Ferry terminal where you can walk around 30 minutes or grab a bus or cab to Oneroa village. I wound up taking a short but steep walk down to the beach from the main village strip. It happened to be a gorgeous day and the the ocean was calm. The beach is beautiful and great for a stroll. If you walk to the far end and it happens to be low tide there are massive rocks to explore around which was a lot of fun. I saw barnacles, clams, oyster shells and what looked like tiny shrimp. There is also plenty of birdlife there such as oystercatchers. I was able to walk from Oneroa Beach to Little Oneroa. There I swam in the cool water. I am not a great swimmer so I did not get to check it out but there are some cool looking rocks on the end of Little Oneroa that looked like they would be fun to explore. There are some picnic tables and a large grassy area where you can pick up some food at Dragonfired that serves a good lunch.

    Though we only found two of the tasters to our personal liking (the Rose and the Pinot Gris) , the flights were good value compared to others on the island. Traditional was $15 and Legacy was $25

    We had a lovely lunch at Stony Ridge with truly delicious food. I especially loved the cockles. The service was pretty slow, however, and there were lots of screaming children (not the restaurant's fault), but other than that we have a great time.

    An excellent choice of red and white wines offered for our tasting with lots of information regarding how they were made. Well worth the walk from Onetangi.

    Have visited many times over the years to enjoy the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Every time my wife and I travel to the island we make sure to stop by and have a rose' under the Pohutukawa tree (it has basically become a tradition for us).

    We drove from the tourist side of the island to visit. It's worth the drive. The views are superb, as is the gin. We tried the tasting trio of gins. I loved the Spirit of Waiheke, which is oily and possesses intense citrus flavours. The Brazilian host was very pleasant, and informative. If you've got an hour or so to spare and like a drive then definitely go. If you like gin you'll find something you like. Recommended.

    The wines here are amazing, but my five-star review is about the food. My Fiancé and opted for the 'trust the chef' and it was the best food I personally have eaten, the highlight being the ceviche, it was that good, I went back the following day specifically for that. It has a cute cosy atmosphere which I really enjoyed, the wine was great and awesome hosts. Third oldest vineyard on Waiheke, it is a true gem.

    Palm Beach, Waiheke is one of the most beautiful beaches on the northern side of the island. A small natural beach with white sand and blue water. We took lot of fotos!
