Ongoing popularity seems assured for Little Creatures’ microbrewery with its waterfront location and epic venue. The brewery is housed in the truly mega-sized Sunderland Hangar, which was built in 1939 as home to the giant Short Sunderland flying boats. Visitors are surrounded by tanks, brewers working their magic and the aroma of beer brewing. At the centre of the action, the dining hall serves woodfired pizza and sharing plates with your beer. Under the same gargantuan roof, Salty’s offers gourmet fish and chips and Kittyhawk is an upmarket Italian eatery – open all day, as is the European way. There’s also a coffee roastery (beer chaser or precursor?) and a play area for the kids.

Parks & Nature
Piha is another favourite wild west coast beach. Lion Rock is the iconic 'rock' which can be climbed, but is not for the faint hearted. Wonderful walks through bush and along the beach. Swimming between the flags, as can be a dangerous beach with rip.
