Art, Mosaics and Sculpture: Waiheke's Creative Side

Long before the vines, Waiheke was where Auckland's artists came for cheap land and good light. Both legacies are still here, often on the same property.

Mosaic gardens and vineyard art

Several estates commission work directly into their gardens, mosaics, ironwork, sculpture set into olive terraces. Walk the grounds before you sit down to taste.

Studios and small galleries

Many island artists work from home and open by appointment. If something catches your eye on tour, we can usually make a call.
