the picturesque coastal town

of Oneroa on Waiheke Island.

as well as an intimate boutique

Time to celebrate

The Oyster Inn’s main dining room can be booked for private functions for up to 90 guests. The Inn is a great venue to host your guests in style. Designed by Katie Lockhart, the restaurant features marine blue floors, classic bentwood furniture and tongue-and-groove panelling, evoking a timeless, seaside sophistication.

With broad sweeping views across the bay towards the Coromandel, The Oyster Inn features award-winning cuisine, having earned itself a place on Metro’s Top 50 Restaurants 4 years running.

At The Oyster Inn restaurant we serve honest, simple dishes made with the very best local produce and pride ourselves on our fresh seafood and shellfish. We’re obsessed with the provenance of everything we serve - so it’s ideal that we’re located on Waiheke Island, which provides us with bountiful supplies of almost everything we need.

A local fisherman Terry Gallon catches fish for us. We shuck oysters from around New Zealand, including Waiheke’s very own Te Matuku oysters, and our vegetables are grown especially for us by local gardeners. We’re also proud to support a wide range of local and regional artisanal New Zealand food producers.

With menus starting at $65 per person, the Inn is the perfect venue to host your guests in elegant yet relaxed surroundings with delicious food and wine to match.

The Main Restaurant
