Exciting developments are on the horizon, with the forthcoming opening of our onsite Whiskey Distillery and Craft Beer Brewery, affectionately known as THE MASHERY. Scheduled for 2023, this addition will offer an immersive experience where you can learn about the brewing and distilling process and sample our internationally acclaimed Waiheke Whiskey and Heke Lager.

You can even try a classic Boilermaker, the perfect pairing of beer and whisky. Our journey began with two local families joining forces, combining the expertise of Waiheke Whisky makers and Waiheke Brewing Co. The result is a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where you'll often find the couples and their offspring attending to our guests' needs.

Waiheke Whisky, crafted with dedication, features laureate barley, both peated and unpeated, and is matured in barrels from local wineries and imported casks. This commitment to excellence has earned us accolades and medals, including prestigious honors at the San Francisco Spirits Competition and the NZ Spirits Awards. Similarly, Waiheke Brewing Co.

Made with pure sparkling water, natural yeast, and all-grain malt, this refreshing brew perfectly balances freshness and hoppiness. Located at 64 Onetangi Road, Waiheke Island, The HEKE invites you to experience the best in craft beer and whiskey. Our opening hours cater to your convenience, and our knowledgeable team is ready to assist you.
