About

Surrounded by crystal clear blue waters, Rakino Island boasts captivating views that sweep all the way to the Coromandel, Great Barrier, Waiheke and Auckland City. Yachts enjoy anchoring in Woody, Pohutukawa, Home, Sandy and West Bays and are home to approximately 16 permanent residents.

This small island's history includes Sir George Grey, Governor of New Zealand, building his home in 1862, before being lured to Kawau Island. Governor Grey then leased the island to Albert Sanford (one of the founders of the Auckland commercial fishing fleet), who lived here for close to 80 years with his family.
