Charlie's

Waiheke Island


Once you're supping on a Waiheke wine or beer under the pohutukawa on the beach-gazing deck, it's easy to see why Charlie's has been a beloved island institution since 1987. A reappraisal of the menu has seen the addition of tasty bar snacks, including prawns and calamari. Full meals include Wagyu cheeseburgers and seafood risotto.
