LOCATION In the heart of Auckland s sparkling Hauraki Gulf, Waiheke Island is a picturesque blend of farmland, forest, beaches, vineyards and olive groves. Waiheke is just a 35-minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland, and has an international reputation for food and arts. The Island was once a sleepy summer vacation retreat with traditional kiwi batches dotting its edges. It retains that feel, but is now a renowned holiday and lifestyle location. The island is deserving of its fine reputation for its vineyards, local cafés and restaurants. Located approximately 17.7 km from Auckland the island is the second-largest in the Hauraki Gulf after Great Barrier Island. It is the most populated, with nearly 8,730 permanent residents. The climate is said to echo that of Bordeaux in France boasting temperatures 3-4 degrees hotter on average than Auckland, with 30% less rainfall. From the ferry landing at Matiatia Wharf it is a short walk to the small town of Oneroa, the island's hub, with its shops, cafés and bars. Another minute s walk gets you to Oneroa Beach, one of the most accessible beaches. The northfacing beaches sheltered bays with little surf are the best for swimming.
