This well known winery was named after the beautiful barn/house which was made from mud bricks. The restaurant is great, but fairly “white tablecloth”.There’s a new bistro (The Archive Bar) which has recently opened with more tapas styled meals. Awesome view looking back to Auckland.

Enter the new and improved Charlie Farley’s — or just Charlie’s, as its new moniker reads — Onetangi Beach’s failsafe eatery. Here is where the crowds will descend in the abundant fine days of the coming months.
Now owned, operated and reinvigorated by renowned restaurateur Richard Sigley, the Tropicana-inspired beachfront spot, with its front-row view of the beach, sets the scene for an array of crowd-pleasing dishes. Fresh Te Matuku oysters give way to vibrant tuna poke bowls, garlic dusted calamari, your classic wagyu ‘n’ cheeseburgers (NB everything is just a little bit elevated) and, of course, a truly delectable offering of fish and chips.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
