FANCY AN OVERSEAS TRIP?

Then why not head to Waiheke for Queen’s Birthday Weekend? There is lots to celebrate and be grateful for right now, so it’s the perfect time to enjoy the island’s delicious food and wine in between coastal walks and exhilarating autumn swims — if you dare. Nothing beats a long lunch at Onetangi’s waterfront Three Seven Two, or a shared Italian platter at Poderi Crisci Vineyard. For something more simple, grab a pizza from one of the many food trucks or a cheesy toasted sandwich from the Palm Beach Store, and have a picnic on the beach.
