Waiheke Island, a short ferry ride from Devonport, is a bit of paradise in New Zealand. Until recently the island was populated by artists and those who wanted to get away from the big city of Auckland acroos the bay. When the ferry service started heaps of working folks from the city now choose to live there. The island has electricity, but all water is stored rainfall …definitely limited resources that will control future growth a bit.
We stayed in a cute, rustic bungalow in the rain forest…just steps from Palm Beach. One morning I worked with sculpture John Freeman an artist that in Oamaru stone carving. Here’s a shot of Black Beach, one of my favorite areas.
You’ll also find wineries located throughout the island. Find out more here.
