Rotoroa岛

Rotoroa is a small island just east of Waiheke, famous for its arts and heritage attractions.  A beautiful oasis just 75 minutes ferry crossing from 奥克兰的市中心, the island features an exhibition centre, 沙滩, bush walks and a number of preserved buildings. 

Once home to the Salvation Army's addiction recovery centre, the beautiful Rotoroa岛 was privately run for over a century, until 2011, when it was opened to the public. 在这里, just an hour and 15 minutes from Auckland, 你可以在风景优美的丛林漫步, 在四个软垫中的一个上晒日光浴, 沙滩, or explore the historic buildings in the centre of the settlement.

有一个监狱, 校舍, 一座教堂和一座崭新的, state of the art exhibition centre illustrating the history of the island and the story of the Salvation Army's addiction centre.  Go walking and see if you can find the striking Chris Booth sculpture that's hiding out somewhere on the headland.  Lose yourself in the natural silence of the Rotorua bush (but keep an eye out for the dozens of rare bird species who live here), or take a picnic to one of the many green areas and marvel at the views over Waiheke岛 and the 科罗曼德半岛
