I wish I had known how easy it is to get to waiheke island before. I would’ve done this sooner. The view is iconic and you can even take a bath while looking at it, lay in bed, or just hang out pretty much anywhere and still see the ocean. It’s amazing. I went to the local store to buy food. They sell great sandwiches. Like really great. It’s right by the beach and super convenient. The bus system is the same as it is in Auckland if you need to get to the location and back to the ferry. Just use your hop card. The palm beach there is like one of the best I’ve seen, ever. Idk what you’re waiting for now that you have this information. Paradise on earth.
