The Verdict
You’ll be forgiven for thinking you're in Italy upon arrival at this acclaimed Waiheke winery, restaurant and function venue. With the founder being Antonio Crisci, the Italian genius behind Auckland Italian institutions Toto’s and Non Solo Pizza, this place is worth catching the ferry for.
The restaurant’s a la carte menu changes daily depending on the kitchen garden and the freshest available ingredients, ensuring the finest quality of food. Diners will be treated with spectacular views across the valley, with the west facing restaurant catching the last sunrays of the day. If you’re wanting a true Italian experience, head along on a Sunday for the ‘Italian Long Lunch’, an Italian tradition recreated every Sunday. As they say at Poderi Crisci ‘there is always plenty more thyme in the garden, and there is always another ferry.’

Bistro Saine
Wander down the cobblestones of Saint Patrick’s Square and you might happen upon the luxurious first floor of newly-built Hotel Indigo, housed in a restored heritage building. You can enter through the other side too—the Albert Street entrance blending into the concrete jungle as if it was always there (just look for the elegant Bistro Saine font out front).
Takapuna Surf Club
When you hear the words surf club, what comes to mind? I think of ice cream, pizza, and Alf Stewart (I haven't watched Home & Away in years, but I understand the Summer Bay Surf Club is still standing. Poor old Mr. Stewart, I'm not so sure).
