With pathways leading through native bush home to native birds like tui and kererū, the farmhouse offers a peaceful, natural retreat with breathtaking ocean views and vibrant sunsets. Close to the island’s best wineries and beaches, The Ranch is ideal for family retreats, celebrations, or corporate gatherings, allowing guests to enjoy Waiheke’s beauty and comforts.

Your Smooth Sail to Waiheke Island with SeaLink

Sailing from Half Moon Bay in Auckland’s east or Wynyard Quarter in Auckland City, SeaLink is the best and most reliable way to get to Waiheke Island.

SeaLink is the only car ferry operating on the Hauraki Gulf but is equally as good if you are taking your bike, or just as a foot passenger.

The onboard licensed café has got you covered for the hour-long journey (give or take) and the views of harbour, cityscape and neighbouring islands are second to none!

Gabriella Lewenz Gallery | An Art Experience that nourishes the senses.

Lewenz’s abstract paintings are presented in her beautiful earth-brick home and gallery venue. The architecturally designed buildings are situated against stunning coastal views of Church Bay.

Guests are welcomed through to view the artworks for sale, and the adjoining marble courtyards which occasionally feature contemporary sculptures by guest artists. The visit includes a stroll through organic market gardens, herbs, and edible flower beds; a recent collaboration and initiative on the island. Lewenz’s oil paintings combine blended mediums of oil washes, clay, wax, marble dust, and ground stone. Her process engages a fluid and intuitive approach to her artwork and evokes the lyricism of the natural world and deep connection to the island surroundings.

Lewenz has exhibited in galleries in NYC, Italy, and Auckland. Her art continues to attract international art buyers & collectors to her Gallery.
