Just a short high speed boat ride from the Auckland is the tiny isolated island of Waiheke, a throwback to the one grocery store on the island kind of place, yet already discovered by the likes of the Prada and Louis Vuitton families. They have spent many a night on the island during the 31st America's Cup Sailboat races held in Auckland in 2000. Now is seems everyone wants a piece of it.
