“We had a wonderful family stay at Tangaroa on Waiheke Island. The house was beautiful- spacious, clean, and perfectly set up for a group gathering. The views were absolutely stunning, with peaceful surroundings that made it easy to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Everything we needed was there, and it had a lovely, welcoming feel throughout. It was the perfect spot for reconnecting with family in a serene and scenic location. Would definitely love to return!”

Good Food

tibs

Situated right in Oneroa

Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan or keto-friendly might sound like it’s not for you, I love steak too! But I genuinely enjoy their food and highly recommend giving it a try. If you’re not sure what to order, go with the “Halloumi Delight.”

The Island Frenchie

Situated right in Oneroa

Perfect for breakfast or brunch—Dusty Brekkie or grilled fish tacos? They also have some great sweet options.

Winery, Gin and more…

Man O’ War

It’s a bit of a drive from Tangaroa Estate, almost on the opposite side of the island, but truly worth the journey. Exceptional wine and breathtaking views await.

Mudbrick

Just a few minutes’ drive from Tangaroa Estate.

It’s a wonderful place for dining or wine tasting, and one of the most beautiful wedding venues on the island.

Waiheke Distilling Co.

Waiheke isn’t just about wine. Waiheke Distilling Co. offers a beautiful range of gins, where you can enjoy gin tasting and a variety of cocktails—all with a stunning view.
