For a limited time, 47 businesses on Waiheke Island are offering a bunch of fab deals!
It’s winter in New Zealand, and that means a lot of hospo and accommodation businesses slow down. And as if that wasn’t hard enough, there’s a recession kicking our butts too!
So what’s a destination to do about that? Why, get everyone together to offer deals and stick them in a booklet!
That’s what they’ve done on Waiheke Island, and from 1 June to 20 October 2024 (into spring), you can buy the Waiheke Island Winter Passport for NZ$60 and redeem as many as you like.
In it you’ll find deals from 47 businesses, like 30% off Sealink to the value of $150, and the new Island Direct Waiheke ferry are doing buy one get one free for online bookings or walk ups from the Downtown Ferry Terminal. Take $20 off the Hop On Hop Off Explorer Bus.

Here are my favourite Waiheke wineries to visit when you come over.
If you need an excuse for a quick winter getaway, then put Waiheke on your radar. It’s only 35 minutes by ferry from downtown Auckland, has over 30 wineries, loads of activities, gorgeous beaches for walks along – or swimming if you’re brave enough in the chill.
