We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - our hosts were lovely and set up a beautiful breakfast. The accommodation itself was also beautiful and the views were stunning. We will definitely be returning at some point and this time we will book their private dining dinner in advance :)

We had 3 wonderful nights at Te Whau Lodge to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. From meeting us at the ferry terminal at Waiheki Island to dropping us back 4 days later, Chris & Teara were delightful. Our room was spacious yet private with lovely ammenities, breathtaking views and was both spotless & comfortable. We enjoyed a delicious anniversary dinner, nightly canapes & daily 4 course breakfasts. Guests can be as sociable or not with the few other guests and Chris & Teara are tremendously flexible hosts. Although a Luxury property it is relaxed and unpretentious. Our stay was an indulgance for us both and we were not disapointed. Aside from the promised inclusions in our tarrif, there were lots of unexpected personal extras that made it even more special. Overall the stay exceeded any expectations and we would definately return to Te Whau Lodge.

5 Star Experience

Absolutely the best stay we have ever had in any resort or hotel. The hospitality, the views, the breakfast... I could go on and on about this Lodge. It is absolutely a five star stay. I can officially say out of our entire visit in New Zealand from the North to the South of this country this was still the very best place we stayed!

The lodge is exactly shown as in the photos - the views from the balcony is amazing, we love watching the sunset from our room. Rob and Marg were amazing hosts, who laid out lovely breakfast and turn down service everyday. We had a lovely stay on at the lodge.

A slice of Perfection!

My wife and I stayed here after doing quite a bit of research on places to visit on the north island. The area is like Napa Valley on a perfect island. We had the opportunity to meet the owner during our stay and really enjoyed the hospitality of the entire team. The views are wonderful, breakfast is fantastic, and for people not from the area they go up and above to help you plan your day and recommend places to visit and see. We absolutely will come back to visit on our next trip to New Zealand!

Our hosts, Marg and Rob, were exemplary - personable, professional and very attentive to our needs. Delicious canapes with a glass of wine each night, refreshingly-healthy breakfasts and beautifully comfortable rooms and bed - what more could you need?? A view - they've got that covered too - perfect for watching the magical sunsets. We'll definitely return.

Amazing Te Whau!

What an amazing place! We had a great time with the owners at Te Whau, lovely spot, great food and hospitality! For people who don’t know the island it is a distance from the main town, so you may need transport on the island but everything about this place is magic! Owners attention to detail and little touches made the whole stay amazing!

Luxury lodge with amazing views

Te Whau lodge was all I hoped it would be and more. Not on a beach but high up on Waiheke Island with many views of bays and in the distance Rangitoto Island and greater Auckland. Our room was spacious, elegantly decorated and had a deck out over native bush and plants. We were greeted very warmly by our hostess, Marge and she showed us the areas in the lodge where we could relax outside our own room. Breakfasts were works of art and changed daily. She catered for our dietary needs with healthy granolas, smoothies and imaginative egg based concoctions. We were well and truly pampered.
