We took a ferry from Gulf Harbour to Auckland, then another to Waiheke.
Our apartment was in the centre of Oneroa, just above this cafe where we had brunch.
The view from our balcony.
We checked out the interesting shops in Oneroa and the art galleries...
..there were sculptures along the street too.
A swim to cool off at the beach.
Day 2: we started with a 2-hour stroll around the headlands north of Matiatia. Amazing views...
Then we took the bus around the island to Onetangi. We walked up to the Miro Vineyard...
...where we had platters and wine under the shady olive trees.
A swim at the beach before catching the bus back to Oneroa.
Finally we had to head home. Waiting for the ferry in Auckland we met these guys...
Final stop - a picnic at Wenderholm.
