Those who really know say that our location - sheltered yet with 360 degree views - competes for supremacy among the few best all-seasons sites to be had on Waiheke.
Marino Ridge is for those who value privacy, comfort, discreet service, natural beauty all around you and coastal walking, good food, good wine.
Ours is a secure tranquil haven, uncluttered, sophisticated, far from the madding crowd, yet just five minutes from the village. You are very welcome!
The Accommodation
Opt for one of our beautiful guest suites that enjoy a sublime choice of views, or enjoy the peace and serenity of having the entire lodge to yourself. Maybe bring your friends and family too?
Our Story
With backgrounds in high-class hospitality, Peter and Caroline shared a dream of treating their friends and guests to the same levels of luxury, fine cuisine and service they enjoyed overseas.
The Experience
Marino Ridge is designed with you in mind: a luxurious private retreat which is at one with nature. Enjoy relaxed seclusion with intimate views of the bush, beach and bay, and gourmet breakfasts of several courses changing daily.
Explore Waiheke
From water pursuits, fixed wing and helicopter tours, to peaceful gardens, galleries and tranquil seaside and coastal strolls, Waiheke Island has a full range of activities to offer. Access Waiheke's around-the-island Te Ara Hura track directly from the bottom of Marino Ridge's property and go walking for hours in either direction. Or drive to the eastern end of the island and marvel at the raw beauty of Stony Batter, its mature forests and its wartime tunnels and gun batteries. Magnificent.
