Great Places to Eat
Omata Estate
Omata Estate is a bit of a hidden gem and a favourite local indulgence — well worth the 41-minute scenic drive from Oke Beach House. Tucked into the rolling hills near Kerikeri, Omata offers a refined vineyard experience with award-winning wines, a relaxed cellar door, and a restaurant that punches well above its weight. It’s the kind of place where long lunches accidentally turn into late afternoons, with views across vines, warm Northland hospitality, and food that celebrates local produce. Perfect for a day trip, a special occasion, or simply reminding yourself that life doesn’t always need to be rushed. 🍷✨
