“Waiheke” (Maori for “cascading waters”) is a unique island settlement close to<br />

Auckland. Scenic beauty & solitude contrast with the fast growing tourist trade -<br />

at peak holiday time the population swells to over 30,000.<br />

Linked to the mainland by high speed commuter ferries & by an approx 10<br />

min flight from Auckland, Waiheke Island is generally regarded as a tourist<br />

destination of Auckland. Sophisticated wineries, such as Cable Bay, Mudbrick<br />

and Stonyridge Vineyard, casual cafés and a wide variety of accommodation<br />

make this island an attractive holiday option. Beautiful beaches & island walks.<br />
