Marino Ridge NZ - Now retired WEF 1 Feb 2026

Marino Ridge sits north facing above a private amphitheatre from ridge top to coastal beach below located near to all facilities in an exclusive location on Waiheke Island’s renowned north-western coast. It achieves a restrained sophisticated elegance offering you luxurious and comfortable accommodation expressed with true generosity of spirit and space. Drenched by the sun from sunrise to sunset

year round yet sheltered from the prevailing westerly breezes, unwind in the quietness, enjoy wide and varied land and seascapes, enjoy the heated spa and 16m pool, stroll our private bush tracks and take coastal walks directly off our property to the village and beaches. Peruse our library – an eclectic mixture of tastes and times – and, after the potential excesses of a travellers diet, feel free to enjoy the exercise/massage room and spa! Three large ensuite rooms are individually and tastefully furnished in a clean contemporary style, as too the main indoor and outdoor areas which feature elegantly simple USM and luxurious Dedon furniture. Naturally all comforts, amenities and facilities to the standard expected in accommodation of this quality are available. The outlooks are compelling, relaxing, even hypnotic, day and night. Lose yourself in nfinitely diverse cloud formations, extraordinary light, ever-changing hues of the sea in all her moods - these are spellbinding. Enjoy watching the fish and seabirds hunting and feeding in and outside the bay; occasionally dolphins and orca too. For those who want to retain the city connection buzz we look behind us across our ridge to tantalising glimpses of the lights of Auckland. Revel in the outstanding clean air we are privileged to enjoy when you scan the horizon 25-60 nautical miles away to the north and east - where lie both Little Barrier and Great Barrier Islands and the Coromandel Peninsula. Spectacular, stunning views...

At night after a complimentary drink or two and canapés with us enjoy dinner at a quality local restaurant or winery. Later, relax in our hot tub under the expanse of stars in a night sky unspoiled by city lights, before pampering yourself in our generous shower or large bath, comfortable bed and luxury linen. What makes Marino Ridge’s unrivalled and hypnotically tranquil location on Waiheke Island even more exclusive is the sense of privacy and security that comes from being in the heart of a small community of large private properties, the nearest neighbours out of sight. Into all of this we give you our mix of life experience and care. We love that you will share all this with us while enjoying our discrete personal service – it is our privilege and pleasure.
