Restaurants & cafés
Mudbrick Vineyard & Restaurant The island's most photographed dining room: a rammed-earth building above the Hauraki Gulf, white-tablecloth Mediterranean cooking and an estate wine list that's won London Wine Competition golds. The romantic-occasion default.
Cable Bay Vineyards Sleek modern winery overlooking the gulf, with two restaurants under one roof — fine-dining inside, wood-fired Verandah on the lawn for shared plates and pizza. The Verandah is the move for a long boozy lunch.
Trails & outdoors
Te Ara Hura Trail (Matiatia to Oneroa Cliff Section) Section of the 100km island-girdling trail closest to the ferry — about an hour's walk along clifftops from Matiatia wharf into Oneroa. Sea on one side, vineyards on the other, the easiest taste of the long route.
Whakanewha Regional Park South coast park of regenerating bush, a tidal estuary and a swimming beach reached by short loop walks. Quieter than the north-side beaches and the only easy native-bird-watching on the island.
Things to do
Headland Sculpture on the Gulf Biennial outdoor sculpture walk along the cliffs of Matiatia, two-and-a-half kilometres of large-scale commissioned NZ work spaced along a coastal path with the gulf as backdrop. Runs about six weeks every second summer.
EcoZip Adventures Three zip-lines spanning a vineyard valley between Matiatia and Onetangi, with a short bush walk to finish at the start of the wine trail. Two-hour package most people pair with vineyard lunches afterwards.
Landmarks & sights
Oneroa Beach The island's main village beach, sandy and shallow with a row of cafes and galleries one block back from the sand. Default first stop off the ferry and the obvious sunset swim.
Onetangi Beach Longest stretch of sand on the island, two kilometres of white shell-sand on the north shore with three good beachfront bars at the western end. Body-surfable when the northerly blows.
