The Oyster Inn is a beachside bistro on the upper floor of a colonial-style building at 124 Ocean View Road in Oneroa, Waiheke Island. Its view covers moored sailboats, neighbouring islands, the Coromandel Peninsula and the bay. The bistro has three guest rooms. The menu is simple and coastal, with daily market fish, crisp salads, fish and chips, mac 'n' cheese, steak frites, and fresh oysters, including Te Matuku oysters from Waiheke. Oysters can be ordered natural, dressed with chilli sambal, or battered with wasabi mayonnaise. The wine list features Waiheke wineries, other New Zealand wines and wines from overseas, and the bar has a seasonal cocktail list.
The restaurant is about five minutes from the Matiatia ferry terminal. Bookings can be made online for up to 12 guests, and groups of 13 or more contact the events team by email. A credit card is needed to book for six or more. A 15% surcharge applies on public holidays, and a 1.8% merchant fee applies to card payments in the restaurant. Ferry delays can happen over the summer, so the website advises planning ahead.
