Waiheke is great for a weekend getaway but also a lovely day trip. You take the car over from from Half moon Bay, if you dont take the car its a 25 minute walk on the island to the bus stop, or catch the ferry from Auckland city so you can connect to the local buses. There are fabulous wineries, restaurants, white sandy beaches and art galleries.
