Welcome to the Lazy Lounge

The Lazy Lounge Café and Bar. You can find us at 139 Oceanview Road in Oneroa on the wonderful Waiheke Island, New Zealand.

The Lazy Lounge was started in 1999 by two friends; Nick Saunders and Patrick Thompson, who wanted to settle on Waiheke but needed an island-based occupation. The Lazy Lounge building is actually the original tea rooms in Oneroa, dating back to the 1920s. After several reincarnations, rezoning and renovations, Nick and Pat were able to bring the tea room spirit back to life and make it into the 'institution' that is now known as the Lazy Lounge. It is a sprawling, comfortable and eclectic building with fantastic sea views, extensive garden and games / pool room. We are the longest serving Café Owner/Operators on Waiheke and proud of it.

You can get to us from the mainland by a quick and scenic 35 minute Ferry trip departing from the Downtown Auckland Ferry Terminal or Half Moon Bay (East Auckland). Ferries leave every hour during the day but please check the Fullers link found on the right hand side of this page for full timetables.

We cater to all kinds of people from teens to pensioners, businesspersons to backpackers and offer them good value for money meals and a chilled out and relaxed atmosphere. The Lazy Lounge is Family Oriented and we have a large 'kids only' castle, climbing wall and other fun playthings in the back of the garden just for those wee ones. We have an in-house radio station 'Waiheke Wireless 88.0 FM' that keeps the smooth/funky/eclectic groove going in the café and provides the 'theme music' to the colourful interiors, personalities and artwork featured here at the Lazy Lounge.

We open at 8am every day and offer a wide selection to choose from for Breakfast and then meandering into a Scrumptious Lunch Menu, Pizza Menu and snack menu and beyond, including delights in our deli cabinet if you are only in the mood for a little munch !!

We are open late for dinner and drinks on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and often feature DJs, musicians and other artists (check our 'What's On' page for updates).

We offer the islands finest coffee freshly roasted here on Waiheke by Jane and Steve of 'Island Coffee Roasters'... thanks you guys. The Lazy Lounge is proudly supportive of Local Suppliers and in turn is thankful for their support. If you ask us, Waiheke Island is the best place in the world to live and be on. Please pop in and say hi if you are in the Neighbourhood and you will understand why we think this way.
