Entering the property’s pristine grounds immediately invokes a sense of calm and clarity. Lush green gardens, a vibrant olive grove, and breathtaking views of Owhanake Bay are waiting to greet guests, complemented by the peaceful sound of birdsong.
This luxury lodge has everything you need for a restorative getaway. Recently awarded a 2025 Michelin Key, decadent dining onsite includes gourmet breakfasts and a three- or five-course set menu made from local produce and paired with exceptional wines from nearby vineyards that are – dare we say – some of the best in the country.
High-end amenities including a luxury spa with New Zealand-made skincare products, a heated infinity pool with a million-dollar view, steamy sauna, and well-stocked library mean guests don’t even need to set foot off the property during their stay (but should they wish to, the lodge is conveniently located near the best that Waiheke has to offer).
The lodge’s Ataahua Owners Villa is nestled in a private corner of the grounds (‘Ataahua’ translates as ‘beautiful’ in te reo) with bedrooms that boast dazzling sea views of the shimmering Hauraki Gulf and spacious ensuite bathrooms with rainfall showers. A full modern kitchen awaits, with the option of the lodge’s executive chef whipping up a private meal.
