Waiheke

Waiheke Island is situated in the Hauraki Gulf some 17kms from Auckland City. Over 8,000 people now reside on just over 1/3rd of its 93km2… with a vast area on the east side still undeveloped, rugged and beautiful. Cram-packed with the most amazing views at nearly every twist and turn, the island has over 30 high-quality vineyards and some of the best restaurants in NZ, it is an epicurean’s delight. During the summer, festivals celebrating art, wine and music abound.
