Courtesy of Asahi Beverages Metro Peugeot Restaurant of the Year Awards 2019; Best Destination Restaurant and Best New Restaurant winner ‘As though aware of the fact that Waiheke needed more quality, laid-back restaurants, new Onetangi eatery 372 has joined the beachfront ranks of Charlie Farley‘s to offer something other than the sometimes exhausted vineyard experience. Boasting a superb sea view and unparalleled proximity to the beach, the newly renovated restaurant is taking casual dining up a notch while remaining thoroughly unpretentious.

Run by a couple who can fairly be called locals, Luke and Helen Carter were, in fact, the hospo duo who originally set up their neighbouring stalwart (Charlie’s). After selling the business and spending some time working elsewhere, they returned to a spot next door which was run for some years as a wedding and functions venue. When the opportunity arose to renovate, the pair was finally able to create the eatery they had been envisioning for quite some time; floors were levelled and the whole place was essentially rebuilt to create a fresh, breezy environment you might sooner expect to find in a resort town or tropical island.’ – Denizen review For Auction: Food & Beverage voucher to the value of $300 Conditions: Travel to and from the venue not included.
