Herald Island (New Zealand)

Herald Island is an island of approximately 100 acres (40 ha) in the upper reaches of Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand. The Māori name for the island is Pahiki. It was known as Wood's Island after its first European owner, from the 1840s until the late 1880s, and from the late 1880s until the early 1950s, as Pine Island. It was linked to the mainland by a causeway in 1957,[1] for which Waitemata County Council charged residents a special rate of 5·878d.[2]

There are 275 houses on the island, which has a walkway around its perimeter.[3]
