Food Scene

New to Waiheke, Tantalus have built a beautiful building in an equally beautiful environment. The food and the service are exceptional and reasonably priced for the quality on offer. Tantalus brew their own beer and you can choose to have a tasting in the restaurant, with the specially designed separate tasting room being opened soon. Love it!

Wild on Waiheke has it all. Playground for the kids, archery, laser bird shooting, beer brewing and tasting. All this and a great place to take the family for a platter, pizza or a full meal. Lots of opportunity to 'play' or relax - the choice is yours! You will even find some Naturally Waiheke products stocked on the shelves.
