Waiheke Waterfront Lodge

We spent 4 lovely days at Waiheke Waterfront Lodge and it exceeded all our expectations. Pip and Andy were superb hosts. The accommodations are luxurious and the breakfasts are so delicious! It made a first visit to Waiheke Island a memory that will last a lifetime.. We recommend Waiheke Waterfront Lodge very highly if you are looking to visit Waiheke. Pip also arranged a fantastic wine tour & lunch package for us which is also highly recommended

Enjoyed our stay! This lodge is clean, in a great location, very comfortable, with lovely, helpful managers. They made us a delicious breakfast every morning, and sent us on our way with directions and suggestions for touring. Much appreciated and would definitely return!

We did a lot of research because we wanted to visit during the best weather so we came during summer. We arrived on 3/3 and departed on 3/6, on the first night there was a cold spell. We looked at the weather app and it said it was 12° outside, but it said that it was more like 2° because it was very windy. We were in the living room area and it was very cold. I even had a wool sweater on. We turned on the floor heating and wall fireplace. Nowhere were instructions not to turn anything on. In fact, the switches to both had the names of them. I was reading a book when the owner, Pip passed by and told me she was turning off the fireplace. She looked mad and told me in a mean tone that I was being disrespectful to those that lived there and to the other guests. It caught me off guard and I apologized several times. She got closer and then proceeded to tell me about the gas shortage on the island and that if I was cold, I should’ve told her. We didn’t even know she lived on site. Second, we’re adults. Who asks permission to turn on the heat, especially when you’re paying top dollar for a room? I apologized again and again. I hung my head and put my hands up to my face. I went to the room upset. I couldn’t sleep and neither did my sister. The rest of the stay was very uncomfortable for all 4 that stayed in 2 rooms. She could have used kind words and tone and achieved a better outcome and not ruined our stay or had this negative review. Do Not Recommend.

We can’t add much to the superlatives lavished on the Waiheke Waterfront Lodge and its gracious and competent hosts Pip & Andy except to say they’re all true! Our high expectations based on these reviews were more than met during the course of our 4 night stay. The Losge is a gem located in a stunning quiet location, yet a 10 min stroll to several good restaurants. It is impeccably appointed and run, with every amenity you could ask for and a well appointed garage gym which we made good use of. Pip’s yummy breakfasts outside on the back deck are a real treat and Pip herself is unobtrusive but readily available and helpful. She lined.up an all day taxi for us at the last minute so we could go to the far side of the island for wine and olive oil tasting and sightseeing. Great recommendation Pip! We would love to return and are envious of those of you who have this memorable experience to look forward to!

What you would expect while looking for perfection. Kindness of staff, cleanliness, waterfront location, lovely view, delicious breakfast. Quiet, private and well located.

Lovely room with beautiful views, great location, thoughtful touches and incredible breakfast. Pip and Andy also very welcoming and informative hosts who really helped us make the most of our trip.

The serene waterfront location, the beautiful and well appointed lodge but most of all the personal and professional touch from proprietors Pip and Andy make this stay a highlight of Waiheke Island. They do everything right!

We spent 3 delightful nights at the Waiheke Waterfront Lodge and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a beautiful location. Pip and Andy are excellent hosts, the rooms are spacious with all sorts of special touches to make their guests comfortable and Pip’s breakfasts are delicious. It was nice to be in a quieter part of the island but an easy walk to the main street in Oneroa for restaurants and shops.

owners staff were amazing. Rooms were great. The grounds were lovely.
