The Waiheke Lodge - Comfort for 24

This island haven offers privacy while being only minutes away from Waiheke's restaurants, cafes, beaches, sports park and vineyards.

The Lodge is adjacent to the Regional Park with bush walks to the beach and fabulous views towards the west and the setting sun.

The upper level is impressively spacious with its central kitchen and huge living areas with wood fire opening out through french doors to the veranda where guests can relax, enjoy a meal and take in the magnificent views. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with champagne, wine and soft drinks glasses, cups, plates, dishes, side plates and all cutlery for 24 guests.

The main lounge has a full entertainment system: 65in Sony TV, Sky sport, Spotify, Netflix, Blue ray DVD player, selection of DVD's and high speed wireless internet. The second lounge has two sofas, TV with freeview, Playstation 3 and DVD, plus a 6 foot studio grand piano for musicians to enjoy. The second kitchen has oven, hob, fridge, freezer and seats eight.

Set on 18 acres of native New Zealand bush with sealed driveway, flat lawn, established garden and fruit trees, the Lodge is close to Ecozip with the Batch Winery and restaurant within east walking distance.

The bedrooms are located on the lower level with a large verandah shaded by bush with hanging chairs and a jacuzzi bath for one (or two).

Notes on bed layout - Bookabach/Homeaway counts a bunk bed as one bed whereas one bunk bed means two separate beds (one bed on top, one underneath). So without using either of the fold out sofas, there are beds to sleep 19 people separately and 24 if couples share the king and queen beds. In addition, the fold out sofas can accommodate two more couples or two individuals sleeping separately if required - only linen costs applies.

Bond - a $1000 bond is payable a week before arrival direct to Waiheke Lodge Ltd, refunded 48 hours after departure.

Stainless steel buckets are provided outside for smokers - no smoking inside please.

Please respect the rural neighbourhood and keep noise inside after midnight - much appreciated.

The private grass airfield is available by appointment only and used infrequently.
