Three Must-Visit Local Attractions:

• Stonyridge Vineyard: A short drive away in Onetangi, this world-renowned vineyard is a pilgrimage site for wine lovers.

Enjoy a tasting flight on their lush terrace—an essential Waiheke experience that combines superb wine with a vibrant, convivial atmosphere.

• The Headland Sculpture Walk on the Coastal Path: Immerse yourself in art and nature on this breathtaking coastal trail connecting Oneroa and Onetangi beaches.
