On a beautiful sloping headland located in the southern flanks of Waiheke Island, this collection of four discrete lodges creates an exciting retreat alternative.

Each unit has an expansive bedroom, kitchenette, and bathroom. The rooms and the covered terrace take maximum benefit from the extraordinary views of the surrounding country, the native New Zealand bush, and the Waitemata Harbour.

The unique roof forms rake up internally to bring sun into the spaces and foster a sense of lightness. The buildings are nestled into the steeply sloping hillside to enhance the natural contours and provide privacy between each unit.

The hillside will be developed as an olive grove, and over time the cedar-clad units will blend even more into the palette of the setting.
