ROTOROA ISLAND: YOUR ISLAND APART
For a unique arts, heritage and conservation day out, come and explore Rotoroa Island, Auckland's newest island destination.
For over 100 years, Rotoroa Island has been an island apart,
off-limits to all but a few souls isolated there for alcohol and
drug rehabilitation in the care of the Salvation Army. Today,
Rotoroa is accessible to everyone as the Hauraki Gulf's newest
conservation estate.
Come and explore the heart of the island's old community,
including the jail, chapel and cemetery. Visit the island's
award-winning museum and exhibition centre and its display on
Rotoroa's fascinating history. Swim or picnic at one of four
beautiful sandy beaches, explore walking trails among regenerating
bush or stroll to the new Chris Booth sculpture on the island's
southern headland. There are also three fabulous holiday homes for
rent.
Share the vision of the Rotoroa Island Trust and visit this
special island.
