Where we’re eating and drinking • There’s no rest for the food-obsessed… when the dish team isn’t bringing you delicious recipes, we’re out there trawling far and wide in search of tasty fare. Below, we share our latest favourite haunts.

The Heke • It takes vision, hard work and a certain amount of chutzpah to start a restaurant on Waiheke Island

Te Motu • The names Dunleavy and Te Motu are synonymous with Waiheke, not least because the vineyard’s name comes from the original Māori name for Waiheke ‘Te Motu Arai Roa’, meaning ‘island of long shelter’

Akitō Eatery • With a prime spot at one end of Oneroa’s main shopping strip you’ll find the small but perfectly formed café, Akitō Eatery

Casita Miro • I have a saying that I’ve repeated many times over the years: that when the surroundings, food, wine, music, lighting and the overall vibe is right, that if guests don’t enjoy themselves, then it’s their own silly fault
