Days

Waiheke Weekend Getaway 2560x890 Header Image 2

Make the most of a weekend on Waiheke with a mix of food, wine, beaches and adventure.

Arrive with a takeaway brunch from Island Grocer before exploring boutique shops, cellar doors, and a vineyard lunch. Unwind with an afternoon on the beach before enjoying a seaside dinner overlooking Onetangi.

On day two, stretch your legs with a coastal walk or e-bike ride, then restore your senses with a tea experience at Timmy Smith. Gather for platters and live music at Stonyridge, fly high with an adrenaline zipline, and finish with sundowners at the iconic Mudbrick.

Note: This itinerary works best from Friday to Sunday, when boutique cellar doors like Jurassic Ridge and Postage Stamp are open. For midweek travellers, swap in always-open wineries such as Batch, Wild Estate, or Tantalus. Bookings are recommended, particularly for larger groups.

Day

Arrival & Relaxation

Step off the ferry and start your weekend with a fresh takeaway brunch from Island Grocer. Wander the boutiques and galleries of Oneroa Village before enjoying a boutique tasting at Jurassic Ridge (open Fri–Sun in summer, Fri–Sun in winter) or Postage Stamp Wines (closed Tue–Thu in autumn). Lunch awaits at Batch Winery, where sweeping island views pair perfectly with casual vineyard dining. Spend the afternoon unwinding on Onetangi or Palm Beach before settling in for dinner with ocean views at Three Seven Two or Ki Māha.
