More of an outing but If you want to go for a drive to the laid back village of Kuaotunu, make a day of it and enjoy Lukes kitchen. A rustic seaside restaurant with a cafe adjacent. Pizzas are the main buzz here but the menu has seafood options, salads and specials daily! Will take an hour to get there from the bach. Pack your beach gear!
