There s more to Waiheke Island than wining and dining, as Amy Prebble finds out (in between wining and dining). Here s the best way to spend a long weekend. Blessed with a grape-friendly microclimate and glorious white-sand beaches, Waiheke Island is well established as the glittering jewel of the Hauraki Gulf. After just a 40-minute ferry ride, you can shuck off the stress of Auckland, soak up the sea and sunbathe, and enjoy top-notch cuisine, excellent wine and the quirky craft stores and galleries set up during the island’s hippyish past.
