An online directory about Waiheke Island. Accommodation and tourism information only 35 minutes by ferry from Downtown Auckland across the beautiful Hauraki Gulf New Zealand - but a million miles away in pace and beauty.
Waiheke Island has a great range of accommodation available to suit all budgets and is also a favorite place for conferences, romantic weddings and honeymoons. You may just fall in love with the place yourself and decide to stay a while or like many visitors you may even decide to stay forever, again not a problem, just contact one of the real estate companies and let them help you find your dream home.
Considered by many to be the most magical part of the Auckland experience Waiheke Island is easily accessed by ferry. When you arrive on the island you can pick up a rental car, taxi or take a tour and visit some of the beautiful beaches and native forest reserves on Waiheke which harmonise delightfully with the cafes, vineyards, olive groves and art studios. If you are looking for other events and activities there is plenty to do.
There is a permanent population on Waiheke Island of around 7,000 people who enjoy many of the shopping, business and community facilities found on the mainland.
The residential areas of Waiheke are in small village settings each with it's own character. There is a slower pace of life than the city across the water and is a great place for a holiday or vacation and to relax and unwind. You will lose ten years the moment you step ashore on Waiheke Island.
