With travel overseas restricted, Waiheke Island was the next best thing. My husband promised me a cruise around the Islands for our 50th anniversary, I got the ferry and Waiheke. Such a pretty Island, plenty to do, Mudbrick estate was amazing. Our accommodation was fantastic, clean, well equipped and right on the beach. A short walk along the road and you have the choice of 3 places to eat.
Highly recommended, we will return again for sure
