Waiheke Island property guide

Buying a house on Waiheke Island

Waiheke Island’s bohemian roots and laid-back charm gives the island a chilled and authentic vibe. Business people, young families and retirees alike are drawn here for this ambience, or in search of a simpler life, privacy or to be closer to nature. Whatever the reason, the urban oasis is still only a short ferry ride to downtown Auckland so even the everyday can feel like a never-ending holiday. 

The island’s popularity means the Waiheke Island real estate market is competitive, and homes are often cherished by generations of families. Waiheke homes for sale are eclectic; properties range from classic Kiwi beach homes to grand lodges on acreage and everything in between.
