Our verdict

This is one of Waiheke Island’s hidden secrets reached by a long driveway and set into the rows of vines that supply grapes for the award-winning red wines of Te Motu. With a relaxed, modern-rustic vibe and a large kitchen garden, dining from the small but delightful menu is well recommended. House made focaccia, local olives and fresh raw fish to start along with a short selection of ever-changing seasonal mains make for a great day out.
