Spot on! Pip and Andy have got everything right… Good communication before we arrived with helpful welcome sheet and then when we arrived a lovely welcome and a a few tasty complimentary treats. The rooms and views are super and it is so quiet but just a 15 minute walk or short drive to the nearest restaurants and shops. The breakfast is a feast and fills you up until your evening meal and very well cooked and prepared by both. Pip suggested where we should go for our day trip and with her guidance we covered most of the island in 5 hours including olive oil and wine tasting whilst taking in beautiful scenery on our little road trip. She also suggested two restaurants which were excellent, without her help we wouldn’t have got so much out of it. The house is beautiful and clean and cannot be faulted but what makes this, is Pip and Andy, as you can tell they take real pride in what they do and it shows in every aspect. So overall not too shabby at all 😉

Great accommodation on a picturesque island My wife and I have just returned from five nights at Waiheke Waterfront Lodge and greatly enjoyed our stay. Pip and Andy were exceptional hosts. Andy welcomed us by picking us up from the ferry port. Pip cooked delicious breakfasts with fresh fruit, yogurt and hot dishes, and provided excellent recommendations for our walks and restaurants. Our spacious room looked out to a bay and was more than fully equipped and stocked. The view and peaceful atmosphere provided the perfect escape. We explored Waiheke Island using the Lodge loan car, e-bikes, and by walking some of the well-posted trails. The Island is picturesque, the wineries are great (Mudbrick and Man O War were our favourites!) and the dinners we had at Oneroa, only a short walk away were delicious! Highly recommend staying at this superb lodge.

Heaven We had two wonderful restful days here. Pip and Andy are generous hosts, from collecting us from the ferry, to cooking wonderful breakfasts and providing excellent recommendations for sight seeing, food and even for other places to see in NZ. Our room was spacious, looked out to shallow bay and was more than fully equipped and stocked. Spotlessly clean. We took the restaurant package with taxis provided to lovely restaurant 20 minutes away. The town of Oneroa is 15-20 minutes stroll from the lodge making dinner on night two also very easy. I could go on but suffice to say if you book here your expectations will be met and exceeded.

Wonderful! Island life at its best 🏝️ This place is wonderful, Pip and Andy make it even better! From the welcome, to the views, the wine, and the food, everything is perfectly done. Pip fixes a breakfast straight from a gourmet kitchen. Andy is a great host and guide, and has set the standard for garage gym amenities and views. The available bicycles open a whole new option to see the island. We hope to come back again someday, it’s amazing!

Beautiful lodge on the water, excellent service and breakfast. We booked our room as we got on the ferry and called the car service at the lodge for the free ride to the lodge. Andy was at the ferry when we arrived from Auckland. Wonderful. Our room was perfect with a view of Black Pool Bay. The staff could not be nicer or more helpful. Other guest we spoke with felt the same. Breakfast was wonderful and free! We can’t say enough good things about the lodge.

Fabulous place - highly recommended! What a wonderful place! Andy and Pip are superb hosts. The rooms are beautiful - huge and light and airy with all sorts of thoughtful touches. The breakfasts were delicious with great fresh fruit and hot dishes. A fabulous start to our New Zealand adventure and we wished we could have stayed longer!
