Although only 35 minutes from Auckland, you’ll feel like you’re a world away as your browse through art galleries, sample award-winning olive oils and soak in stunning sea views.

From the friendly smiles on arrival at the ferry pier to the charming hospitality you will receive across our beautiful island, we pride ourselves in being warmer, every which way.

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”22″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]With so much to do, there’s truly something for everyone on Waiheke Island and we’re very proud to have been voted one of the world’s Top 20 islands by Conde Nast Traveller in 2016, and included on Lonely Planet’s list of top 10 travel regions in 2015.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”22″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]We hope you enjoy our little piece of paradise.
