Neighbourhood information

Waiheke Island is a stunning destination located just 35 minutes by ferry from downtown Auckland, yet it feels a world away. Known for its natural beauty, vibrant arts scene, and world-class food and wine, Waiheke offers the perfect blend of laid-back island charm and sophisticated experiences. The island is home to over 30 boutique vineyards, many with award-winning restaurants and cellar doors offering tastings with spectacular sea views. Wine lovers and foodies alike are drawn to Waiheke’s unique terroir and fresh, locally sourced cuisine — whether enjoyed at a fine-dining estate, beachfront café, or farmers’ market. Beyond the wine and dining, Waiheke is renowned for its beaches. From the golden sands of Oneroa and Palm Beach to the more secluded coves of Whakanewha and Man O’ War Bay, there’s a beach for every mood — swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply soaking up the sun. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, with scenic walking tracks, coastal trails, and cycling routes crisscrossing the island’s hills, bush, and coastline. Visitors can also enjoy sailing, zip-lining, fishing, or exploring the island’s marine reserves and bird sanctuaries. Waiheke has a thriving creative community, with galleries, studios, and public art installations dotted across the island. Events and festivals celebrating music, literature, food, and culture take place throughout the year, adding to the vibrant local atmosphere. Despite its popularity, Waiheke has retained its sense of peace and authenticity. The villages of Oneroa, Surfdale, Ostend, and Onetangi offer a relaxed mix of shops, cafés, and local life, while the island’s rolling vineyards and olive groves give it a distinctly Mediterranean feel. With its mix of natural beauty, culture, fine wine, and friendly locals, Waiheke Island offers an unforgettable escape — whether for a weekend or a longer stay. It's no wonder it’s been called one of the world’s best islands to visit.
