Delamore Lodge, perched on the cliffs of Owhanke Bay, is a hideaway on New Zealand’s Waiheke Island.
The hidden gem consists of four guest suites and two-bedroom apartments and offers a private escape just a 35-minute ferry ride (or five-minute helicopter ride) from downtown Auckland. The lodge has unveiled its newly refurbished Ataahua Owners Villa, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offering complete privacy.
The new Ataahua Owners Villa
‘Ataahua’ (meaning ‘beautiful’) is the newest addition to Delamore Lodge’s luxurious accommodations. The Owners Villa is nestled in a tranquil corner of the property’s luscious sub-tropical grounds away from the main lodge, with breathtaking views of the Hauraki Gulf.
The Villa’s two master bedrooms offer sweeping views of the shimmering Gulf waters and are beautifully appointed with sumptuous super-king beds, spacious ensuites with rainforest showers, and generous walk-in wardrobes. The décor is a harmonious blend of modern elegance and relaxed luxury with natural tones and plush furnishings throughout.
Private decks at the front and rear of The Ataahua Owners Villa allow guests to relax amongst the Mediterranean-influenced gardens surrounded by birdsong. Inside, the expansive open-plan living area provides the perfect retreat for families or two couples to make special memories together.
Guests can self-cater in the fully equipped kitchen, complete with high-end appliances, or put their feet up and let Delamore Lodge’s Executive Chef take care of meals and orchestrate an exquisite five-course dining experience in the privacy of the Villa. The chef will individually tailor the dinner to what is homegrown, in season, and harvested locally.
