Why choose Waiheke for your Christmas and New Year break?

As the year draws to a close, the desire to unwind and reconnect becomes stronger than ever. Waiheke Island offers the perfect escape, providing a range of experiences to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit.

1. Unspoiled beaches and breathtaking scenery

Waiheke boasts some of the most pristine beaches in New Zealand. Picture yourself strolling hand in hand along the golden sands, the soothing sound of waves creating a symphony of serenity. The island's landscapes, from lush vineyards to rolling hills, create a canvas of natural beauty that soothes the soul and invigorates the senses.

From intimate dinners featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients to exquisite wine tastings, you'll embark on a gastronomic adventure that promises to be nothing short of memorable.

Speaking of such, we definitely recommend Tantalus Estate Vineyard for memorable celebrations and tasteful meals. Batch Winery is also a must-go, not only for wine tasting but also for dining.
