Guests can choose to dine indoors or on the famed balcony, both providing panoramic vistas of Oneroa Bay.

At the helm of Vino Vino is Chef Connie Aldao, an Argentine-born culinary expert with a rich international background.

The Oyster Inn: A Coastal Oasis in Oneroa Village, Waiheke Island

The Oyster Inn is a beloved Waiheke institution — an award-winning beachside bistro, boutique accommodation, and bar perched in the heart of Oneroa village. With sweeping views over the bay and a sunny verandah made for whiling away the hours, it’s the perfect place to unwind, celebrate, or simply enjoy the best of island life.

Whether you're here for a long, lazy lunch with friends, a romantic overnight getaway, or just a crisp glass of rosé at the bar, The Oyster Inn delivers charm, flavour, and that distinctly Waiheke feeling. The interiors are relaxed yet stylish, with nautical touches, striped umbrellas, and an airy, coastal palette that reflects its beachy surroundings.

At the helm is award-winning chef and owner Josh Emett, whose menu is all about fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared with finesse but never fuss. Think Te Matuku oysters, handmade pasta, market fish, and next-level chips. The bistro embraces an honest, coastal-inspired approach — food that’s delicious, unfussy, and designed to be savoured slowly.

Upstairs, The Inn offers three beautifully appointed guest rooms that are light-filled, coastal and supremely comfortable — ideal for a mid-week escape or weekend away. Wake up to views over Oneroa Bay, and step straight into the village where boutiques, galleries, and the beach are all just a few steps away.

Open 7 days from 12 noon until late, The Oyster Inn is more than just a place to eat — it’s a true Waiheke experience.
