Perching Parrot - Wellington's best cheese scone

You will have to be quick to get your hands on one of the Perching Parrot's cheese scones - declared to be the best in the Wellington region by the Dominion Post in August this year! If you missed out they also do a fantastic range of cabinet food and serve locally roasted Dark Horse Coffee.
Salt & Wood BBQ - meat like you've never tried before
11 Ngaio Road, Waikanae
The Salt & Wood BBQ brew-pub is unashamedly all about meat and beer. Connected to the North End Brewery by a large glass wall, the Salt & Wood team insist that "there's no combo on earth like legit American BBQ and a cold pint" Ask the team which brew pairs best with your meal or share a 6-beer tasting tray with a friend.
Kāpiti Glamping - Te Hapua Coastal
227 Te Hapua Rd , Te Horo
Te Hapua Coastal Glamping sits on a hilltop on the 23-acre property, overlooking the coastline and ocean, only an hour drive from Wellington. Wake in the morning to the sunshine twinkling on the sea - and Kapiti Island right out in front of you. On a good day, you'll also enjoy views to the South Island, and Mt. Taranaki in the North.
The Te Hapua Coastal Tent is the perfect romantic retreat for couples. Decorated with a subtle Moroccan theme, a luxurious 4-poster bed and comfortable armchairs furnish the tent. A spacious verandah to the front of the tent creates a beautiful space for relaxing in the evening with a G&T.
