This site was one among many that have been copied by other Waiheke web site owners, they do say it is the sincerest form of flattery.


I will be hopefully giving you some new photos and a slight variation to the text this year. Happy new year and thanks so much for your service which has been great. Regards Louise - Captains Cabin

John,
Happy Christmas.
The site continues to be incredibly successful  - a credit to your idea. I'm sure it will contribute to Waiheke's growth as a suburb ..don't drive for miles! - holiday destination. Thanks
Regards,
David - Bay View Cottage.

One of Waiheke Islands web sites - www.gotowaiheke.co.nz gets promotion in Haveixbeck, Germany. Flying the flag for Waiheke were two local stone sculptors Heina Petzold  and Eva Busch who have a web site with us.

Thank you John, for making me so suddenly aware of how we could have been doing better for so long - it's been a wake-up call, as it were. I will be paying extra-vigilant attention now.
Cheers

  WETA Awards Regional Tourism and Events Award for April 1999
Waiheke Island - All you need to know

This site is evidence that it is not necessary to get carried away with large, slow loading graphics to have an effective tourism website. Here, graphics have been used sparingly to enhance page content rather than for site navigation or purely aesthetic reasons. Consequently, the site's content is easy to find.
Most visitor needs (accommodation, transport, activities etc.) are covered and, where content may fall a little short, external links provide more detailed information. Judges would have liked a to see a few more activities listed since there is considerably more to do on Waiheke than is mentioned here. No doubt these listings will grow over time. The information does however appear to be accurate, up-to-date and informative, and includes details of operating hours as well as pricing options.
