Waiheke Island sits in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf yet feels distinctly removed from the city. Vineyards, olive groves, beaches and wooded bays create a relaxed island landscape within straightforward reach of the mainland.
Wine, food and beaches
Cellar doors and excellent restaurants can be linked by private touring, leaving time for swimming, coastal walks or simply enjoying a long lunch with a view. Galleries and studios add a strong creative element.
Day trip or longer stay?
Waiheke is easy to visit for a day, but staying overnight reveals a quieter island after ferries return to Auckland. Private villas make it particularly appealing for couples, families and groups.
