The HEKE The Heke Kitchen is a relaxed, vibrant, family friendly restaurant & bar set in 4 acres of gardens, and home to Waiheke Whisky and Waiheke Brewing Co.
(1)

Two local Waiheke families with a shared vision have worked together to create a relaxed pub-style restaurant. A new home for each of our growing businesses, The HEKE is where you’ll experience The HEKE Kitchen, Waiheke Brewing Co. and Waiheke Whisky, ​all nestled into 4 acres of beautiful gardens. Open from Christmas 2021, the brand new restaurant takes its place on Waiheke Island’s much-loved golden mile, Onetangi Straight. With it’s striking interiors and sun-soaked spaces envisioned by Izzard Design’s award-winning architectural & interior design team, the ‘heke is a Waiheke first. A place where rustic meets modern, where class meets the classic kiwi relaxed island lifestyle. We want The HEKE to embrace the kiwi bach lifestyle. A special place to bring friends & family - relax over a roaring fire, watch your food be made in front of you as you dine, taste world-class whisky and watch the kids play on the giant jumping pillow. It’s a dining experience like no other on the Island. Next year The HEKE will be joined alongside by a spectacular new brewery, distillery and tasting room.

The team at The Heke were an absolute pleasure to deal with. From our very first interaction they were friendly, responsive and incredibly professional,
making the whole process seamless.
What really stood out was their genuine commitment to supporting the wider community. It’s refreshing to see a business that not only delivers exceptional customer service but also gives back in such a meaningful way.
Their generosity, professionalism and attention to detail speak volumes about the people behind The Heke. Based on our experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you again for your support—it was truly appreciated. 🖤💛
