For many Auckland locals and visitors to Tāmaki Makaurau, a trip across the sparkling waters of the harbour to Waiheke Island is the perfect way to while away days and nights during the warmer months and beyond.
It’s also the ideal spot for entertaining a crowd, be it corporates celebrating a successful year or family and friends toasting birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and more.
Ki Māha is a popular choice for those looking to spend time on the island, offering an inspiring seasonal menu featuring sustainable seafood, ethically farmed meats and local produce on the shores of beautiful Onetangi Beach. Within its super chic, contemporary surroundings you’ll also enjoy world-class service alongside a carefully curated wine list, the latter of which includes the restaurant’s very own specialty wines.
In the lead up to Christmas and New Year, Ki Māha really comes into its own, hosting an array of large groups with ease, both corporate and casual. Specialists in creating truly inspired group dining experiences from eight guests up to 80, the option of accommodating 120 is also available for those looking to secure exclusive venue hire and enjoy everything that the restaurant has to offer as a private group.
A set menu of Ki Māha favourites is available to accompany group bookings, comprised of three sumptuous courses of distinctly Aotearoa cuisine for a cost per head of $105. According to seasonality and dependant on availability, dining options could include the likes of Ōra King salmon cured in locally produced Waiheke gin, Yellowfin tuna carpaccio served with chilli, capers, avocado oil and lime caviar, or seared sirloin served perfectly medium rare with Café de Paris butter and pommes frites. The likes of salted caramel semifreddo Irish cream with hazelnut biscotti and dark chocolate rum marquise are there to effortlessly complete the picture, and to further elevate your experience, Ki Māha wines are available as a pairing with every course.
Celebrated by local style publication 'The Denizen’ for both the beautiful interiors and innovative fare, Ki Māha is the perfect escape on the island at any time of year.
"Resting easily between the land and the sea and with panoramic views of the ocean, we welcome guests to arrive, relax and enjoy being a part of our very special beachside world."
