“I recently held a large prestigious corporate event at The Heke and from the get-go the staff were accommodating, friendly and made us all feel at home. We brought in a lot of props and even extra tents. The team had everything under control and went above and beyond to ensure the event went smoothly. The Heke really does showcase the best of Waiheke! ”

Angie
“I want to express my thanks and appreciation for the way The Heke looked after us, our family and friends following Ben’s wedding. The feedback from everyone is amazing, they just loved being at The Heke. They loved the food and especially being so well looked after by your stunning staff. So from the bottom of our hearts thank you for making it work so well.”

Rob
“ The Heke is a must visit destination when visiting Waiheke! We had a post-wedding gathering, and the food, service and vibes were on point. Will be back at The Heke every time I’m back on Waiheke.”

Julian
“Fantastic venue and people to deal with. We had our stag lunch & whisky tasting, and the next day, we came for our rehearsal dinner. Everything went very smoothly, tasted awesome, and the staff went out of their way to ensure the experience was top notch. The events manager was fab and easy to deal with. Could not recommend more!“

Christopher
“I did some research from the Gold Coast, Australia, to organise a 50th lunch for my best friend. The Heke was recommended and the events manager was more than helpful. She organised the best tables, recommended the cake maker, and encouraged us to do a gin tasting in the Distillery, which, of course we did. The food was incredible but the service was by far the most outstanding experience of hospitality that any of us have ever had. I literally don’t know what else to say, other than if you come to Waiheke, you have to come here. JUST GO THERE...”
