Winter in Ahuriri doesn't have to mean staying home. Some of the suburb's best restaurants are serving up their most generous deals of the year right now — think $20 weeknight dinners, waterfront lunches, $4 oysters and warming curries by the harbour. Here's our pick of the best deals happening across Ahuriri this winter.

The Ahuriri Ward debate filled the Ahuriri Sailing Club, with six candidates answering community questions in a lively, well-moderated event. Supported by the Rotary Club of Ahuriri Sunrise, the debate showed strong local engagement. A livestream is available on the Ahuriri Facebook page for one month — a must-watch ahead of the Ahuriri Ward election.

Mix’d Cocktail Bar is Back – Better Than Ever! After a challenging few months, Mix’d Cocktail Bar has reopened on the waterfront, serving a brand-new food menu with light bites, shareable dishes, and decadent flavours. From Wednesday to Sunday, enjoy classic cocktails, slushy cocktails, and take in stunning ocean views.
