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!

Our first olive trees were planted in 1997, at Rangihoua Estate. Since then, Allpress Olive Groves has taken shape as the home of world-class extra virgin olive oil on Waiheke Island, and exceptional island experiences.
We’re dedicated to curating something special, something more than just award-winning extra virgin olive oil. Allpress Olive Groves is fast becoming a place to enjoy unique island experiences.
Our tasting Room & Retail Store in Church Bay, mill tours and events show visitors a different side of Waiheke, while our collection of holiday homes, all set in idyllic olive grove locations, offer a unique island escape. Along with growing our three exceptional extra virgin olive oil brands – Allpress, number29 and Rangihoua Estate – we have our sights set on investing in Waiheke as a world-class destination, expanding the island’s tourism repertoire beyond vineyards and beaches.
Our Allpress Bistro is set for completion early in 2025. We look forward to hosting you.

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.
