Waiheke Food & Wine Boutique Escape

For a boutique island escape centred around food and wine, golden sandy beaches and an arty vibe, look no further than Waiheke Island. Located in the Hauraki Gulf, just 35 minutes by ferry from Auckland. Waiheke is an eclectic mix of vineyards, sophisticated and alfresco restaurants, artists' studios and galleries, sandy beaches and hiking trails. You’ll be staying at The Boatshed, a small and personal luxury hotel in a sun-drenched bay with beach house style rooms overlooking the ocean. You’ll dine on local produce from the freshest seafood to herbs and vegetables from the kitchen garden, accompanied by fine New Zealand wines. With over 30 premium wineries and cellar doors, Waiheke Island produces some of the finest reds in the country. This three-day break is an ideal way to relax and recharge and would be the perfect start or end to your New Zealand holiday.
