Marino Ridge is designed with your privacy and comfort in mind: it is a luxurious and tranquil hotel-like retreat which is at one with nature. Fittings and appointments are first class - every detail is designed to pamper without fuss. Simple elegance.
Designed by renowned New Zealand architect Geoff Richards, Marino Ridge is nestled seamlessly into the ridge above a natural amphitheatre. The property enjoys panoramic views encompassing the picturesque bay below and the ocean beyond, and in every other direction too, even back to the city!
Embodying a sense of calm and stillness on the stunning Waiheke Island, each guest suite enjoys sublime sea and landscape views, either west to Auckland, north to the Gulf Islands, or east and south to the far off Coromandel coast.
Relax by the lap pool (heated in season) or hot spa in the DEDON Orbit Love Seat by the pool and let your mind wander across uninterrupted ocean vistas to the Coromandel, to Little Barrier, historic Kawau Island and - on clear days - Great Barrier Islands more than 50 miles away...
Our private bush track accesses coastal walks and beaches, the first directly below Marino Ridge. It's a 40 minute very scenic coastal walk to Oneroa village. The Te Arahura track then goes beyond for those who wish to explore all the walks Waiheke has to offer.
Drenched by the sun from sunrise to sunset with gentle sea breezes, there's no doubt that Marino Ridge has a very special even extraordinary location.
Each of our three suites offers a large private outside verandah with table and chairs - great for private breakfasts, simple chilling, reading, afternoon drinks - and inside a writing desk and sitting area.
Our breakfasts and canapes change daily: they are truly a gourmet treat reflecting our belief in serving the best quality fresh produce we can grow or source, treated with respect and love. We select from our potager gardens wherever possible.
Guests enjoy relaxed seclusion with intimate views of the bush, beach and bay on our cocktail patio or breakfast verandah. Enjoy a glass of wine on a fireside patio, or take a refreshing dip in our swimming pool. Relax in our hot spa under the expanse of stars in a night sky unspoiled by city lights. Pamper yourself in a generous shower or large bath, comfortable Superking bed and luxury bed linen.
With 24/7 onsite staff and daily housekeeping, with the amenities, security and exquisite comforts expected of a property of this quality, its location on Waiheke Island offers the perfect balance between close to the village and private, tranquil and away from neighbours, Marino Ridge really is the perfect spot for your next stay.
