Okiato & Orongo Bay

Before heading to the bach we had booked, we headed towards Okiato stopping off at Omata Winery on the way. A small boutique winery with a great view and great wine, so we purchased some to accompany dinner!






The only reason to go to Okiato is to catch the car ferry, which we will do on our return journey, which crosses over to Opua, in the distance.





The bach we had booked was overlooking Orongo Bay, famous for its many oyster beds. A great view from the deck outside.







We obviously couldn't resist trying the local delicacy - don't think you can get oysters much fresher than this! Picked and shucked that day and we enjoyed them with a glass of fizz overlooking the oyster beds.


Tony the cat, belonging to the owners of the bach who live next door, befriended me...




And then after a pretty full on day, we spent the evening watching a lovely sunset.
