We suggest starting the day (after the mandatory “luxurious long lie”) pouring over the paper ,enjoying a relaxed brunch at one of the many great café’s.

Explore the island by Jeep, and experience the amazing beaches, bush walks and wonderful scenery first hand.

How about visiting some of the island’s talented artists, in their studios?
We suggest a visit to Gabrielle Lewenz and Mike Morgan's studio for inspiration
Both these artists are world reknown and exhibit in New Zealand and internationally.

For lunch we recommend trying one of the 27 vineyards with a little tipple of Waiheke’s finest (well how couldn't you after all that cultured wine tasting?).

The it's time to head home for an afternoon nap on the big comfy couch or catch up on your tan with your new book on the sun lounge outside.

Just enough time for an afternoon dip in the sea and a meandering walk home as dusk set in.

BBQ for dinner…….sitting outside, catching up, having a laugh and fun with good company!

And now, the “pièce de résistance,” a twilight spa followed by a therapeutic massage.

Relaxed and contented ……..we'll let you fill in the remaining night time hours!
