Settle in with a tapas platter and a glass of Man O' War's Valhalla chardonnay at Waiheke's only beachfront tasting room. If the weather is good, go for a swim in beautiful Man O' War Bay. Options to reach the bay include private vehicle, a short but spectacular flight with Auckland Seaplanes, or by prior reservation on Man O' War's summer-only bus from the Matiatia Wharf.
