Designed by renowned New Zealand architect Geoff Richards, Marino Ridge is nestled seamlessly into the ridge above a natural amphitheatre on stunning Waiheke Island.  The property enjoys panoramic views encompassing the bay below and the ocean beyond, and landscapes in every other direction too, even back to the city!  Picturesque.

Embodying a sense of calm and stillness, each guest suite enjoys these sublime sea and landscape views, either west to Auckland, north to the Gulf Islands, or east and south to the far off Coromandel coast.

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. 

Guests enjoy relaxed seclusion with intimate views of the bush, beach and bay from their suites and from our cocktail patio or breakfast verandah and boardwalks. Enjoy a pre-dinner 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.

Sunbathe 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 Island more than 50 miles away...

Our private bush track accesses coastal walks and beaches, the first directly off our property 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 fablous walks Waiheke has to offer.

Drenched by the sun from sunrise to sunset with gentle sea breezes, there's no doubt that Marino Ridge enjoys a simply extraordinary location.

Our breakfasts 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, citrus and fruit groves wherever possible.

After your pre-dinner drinks each night if you wish we'll take you out to dine in one of the local restaurants and wineries whose eclectic menus range from simple to sublime (dining and return costs your care, pre-booking recommended - we'll help with that).  

Or ... dine in with us on-site and opt for one of our Private Chef's four-course dinners, with table d’hôte menus changing by day and season. 

Our dinners focus on local fresh organic foods, also where possible fresh from our garden, and cooked carefully, simply and elegantly.  We do need you to decide early (ideally at time of booking but no later than 12 hours before, please) together with your advice of any dietary limitations, allergies or preferences.  We will then make the necessary arrangements. 

With 24/7 onsite owners and daily housekeeping, with the amenities, security and exquisite comforts and services expected of a property of this quality, its unsurpassed 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.  Do join us!
