Rotoroa Island

Rotoroa Island

Rotoroa Island covers 82 hectares and lies east of Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand. Since 1908, along with nearby Pakatoa Island, it has been privately owned by The Salvation Army and an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility for men was located at Home Bay. This treatment facility was closed in 2005, and after nearly a century of restricted public access, the island will again become open to the public within the years to come.

Since 2005 Rotoroa island has also been used as a boot camp for young offenders complete with highropes course and bush trailsand occasionally is used as a youth camp for The Salvation Army Northern Division Youth. "S.A.N.D.Y"
