Waiheke - An Island and its People

Millionaires' playground, summer escape, artists' retreat and one of New Zealand's most celebrated wine-growing regions ? Waiheke Island, in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf, has the lot. New Zealand media personality John Hawkesby became a resident in 2001 and can't imagine living anywhere else. In Waiheke, he shares the island's seductive charm and eccentric character, while photographer Duncan Innes captures the stunning vistas and unique seaside atmosphere that draw visitors from far and wide, as well as some of the diverse personalities who call this special spot home.
