For those who have visited Waiheke, just 35 minutes from downtown Auckland, you’ll know it’s a pretty magical place. Known as New Zealand’s ‘island of wine’, when you’re not dining out on delicious local food and sipping a vintage from the surrounding vineyards, you can be strolling the many golden-sand beaches, or hiking the numerous trails that crisscross the island’s undulating landscape.
Fleetwood offers a perfect place to slow down, unwind and reconnect in the peaceful location of Awaawaroa Valley. Set on 18 acres, this boutique accommodation is the ultimate destination to engage the senses and reconnect with nature.
