For an island just 19km long and 9km wide at its widest point, Waiheke crams a lot in. It has beautiful beaches, award
winning vineyards, collectable artists’ works and awesome olive groves, plus stretches of native bush to tramp through, sheltered swimming and perfect contours to mountain bike. And all just a 35 minute ferry ride from New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland.
It is the second largest island in the Hauraki Gulf, with an area of 92km², a coastline of 133.5km and 40km of gorgeous beaches. The port of Matiatia at the western end of the island is 17.7km from Auckland, and Orapiu at the eastern end is 21.4km from the Coromandel Peninsula.
Waiheke is the most populated of the islands in the Gulf with a permanent resident population of just over 8,000. Most live at the western end which means the island has large areas of gorgeous unspoiled native bush and a view to die for around every bend in the road. The main settlements in the more populated western part are Oneroa and Blackpool at the far western end, Surfdale and Ostend. Palm Beach and Onetangi lie on the north coast, and Rocky Bay and Te Whau are
on the south. Much of the eastern half of Waiheke is privately owned farmland with Orapiu at the easternmost tip.
Socially, the island is diverse, ranging from those on a minimal wage to some of the wealthiest people in New Zealand. It also includes a huge creative sector with many artists, musicians, writers, poets and actors. Over 2,000 islanders commute via ferry to Auckland every day for work and school.
Due to its proximity to Auckland, Waiheke is fashionable with weekend bach dwellers and, as a popular holiday destination, the population can swell to over 40,000 over the summer months. Even its climate is something to crow about – it is generally warmer than Auckland with less rain and humidity and more hours of sunshine.
HistoryThe island was discovered and settled by Maori approximately 1000 years ago. The name Waiheke translates to cascading waters. Some Maori legends relate that one of the pioneering waka (canoes) to New Zealand came upon the island. The first traces of Europeans arrived with the missionary Samuel Marsden in the early
1800s, several years after Captain Cook passed by and acknowledged the island in his travels through the Hauraki Gulf.
Signs of Maori occupation on Waiheke Island still exist today. Archeological sites are scattered over the island including more than forty pa sites, cooking pits and terraced areas. One of the largest is Rangihoua at the turn off to Rocky Bay. This large hill was the scene of a hard fought and bloody battle.
At the other end of the island is Stony Batter which is an historic WWII defence complex. It is accessible by foot through countryside with striking views of the Hauraki Gulf and Coromandel Peninsula. It is a network of underground tunnels and chambers that link to magnificent gun emplacements. The purpose of the complex was to provide outer harbour protection in case of an invasion from Japan.
