About Waiheke Island
Waiheke Island is a green, hilly island in the Hauraki Gulf east of Auckland, known for vineyards and olive groves, sandy beaches and sculpture.
Waiheke Island lies in the Hauraki Gulf, east of Auckland, and its rolling hills are covered in pasture, bush and vineyards. The main village, Oneroa, has cafés and shops above a sheltered bay, and the long, curving sands of Onetangi Beach run below the northern hills. The island's vineyards grow Bordeaux-style reds and syrah in its sunny, mild climate, and many have restaurants with views across the gulf.
