While we offer 24 hour reception service we ask, to better ensure quiet enjoyment for our other guests, that your arrival or departure be limited to the waking hours wherever possible.  

Ours are three very generous suites, each serviced daily:  Akarana and Coromandel Suites, both named for the focus of their view on the main level, Owhanake Suite is on the lower level and offers relaxed seclusion with intimate views of the bush, beach and bay below.  All have private entrances. 

Each suite offers a large private outside verandah with table and chairs - great for private breakfasts and afternoon drinks - and inside a writing desk and sitting area. Entertainment facilities are complemented by Bluetooth connections to cater for most current technology and, of course, we have free Wi-Fi and wired internet available throughout. All suites have Bose Wave Radios for fabulous sound from your smartphone; two have a large bath and shower, the other a shower with the best view in the house!

Guest areas include a combined lounge/dining room, a library, cocktail patio, a breakfast terrace overlooking Owhanake Bay, a fireside patio, a 16.5 m swimming lap pool (heated Nov-Apr) and jacuzzi/spa pool (heated all year), a massage, yoga and exercise room, lawns and gardens, ocean beach and private paths.  These formed tracks and paths around the property lead you to beautiful shady spots to take in the sun and the views.  Ramble among native trees, flowers and birds… And there’s the added bonus of our clean safe beach directly at the bottom of the property for swimming, sunbathing and fishing. 

Our private helipad on the ridge behind the house offers convenient direct access to and from city or airport. We suggest you consider Heletranz, New Zealand's most experienced heli-transfer operator.

We can arrange on-site single and couples massages by skilled and experienced masseuses.  Our downstairs massage room is the perfect space to zone out!   Do let us know your interest early though so that we can ensure the masseuses are available for you...  

In winter the tranquility and warmth emanating from our inside and outside fires and underfloor heating enwrap you, even in those wild weather days. In the balmy heat of summer our poolside Dedon lounger beds demand your complete relaxation … as do the massive overhanging verandahs on three sides which offer shade and shelter.  On the fourth side, our nearly 300-year-old grand-daddy Pohutukawa tree is just as inviting.  Indoors our remote controlled ceiling fans gently move the cooling air.

Marino Ridge offers 24/7 onsite staff and daily housekeeping, security, all the amenities and all the exquisite comforts expected of a property of this quality. 

After our pre-dinner wines enjoy dinner at a quality local restaurant or winery, to which we can transfer you. Later, perhaps relax on deck or in our hot spa under the expanse of stars in a night sky unspoiled by city lights, before pampering yourself in a generous shower or large bath, then to comfortable bed and luxury bed linens...

Wake to enjoy an invigorating coastal walk then indulge in great coffee and organic teas and and an amazing gourmet breakfast on our terraces overlooking Owhanake Bay and the Hauraki Gulf...!  Enjoy!!
