Suspended above the turquoise sweep of Owhanake Bay, Delamore Lodge is one of Waiheke Island’s most exclusive retreats—an architectural sanctuary carved into the hillside, where Mediterranean influence meets a distinctly New Zealand sense of place. Intimate in scale and quietly assured, the lodge is defined by its sweeping Hauraki Gulf views, deeply personal service, and a sense of complete seclusion just a short journey from Auckland.
Accommodation
Luxury Suites
Four individually named suites—Awatea, Motu, Mahana and Moana—are oriented to capture the morning light and uninterrupted ocean vistas. Each features private patios or terraces, generous bathing spaces, and a calm, textural palette designed to dissolve the boundary between indoors and out.
Whareto Apartment
A spacious two-bedroom residence within the main lodge, ideal for those seeking additional space. With a private entrance and elevated position, it offers expansive views, indoor-outdoor flow, and the comfort of a fully self-contained stay while retaining access to lodge facilities.
Owner’s Villa (Ataahua)
Set apart within the grounds, this private two-bedroom villa offers complete seclusion. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and olive groves, it provides a fully independent retreat with the option to engage as much—or as little—as desired with the life of the lodge.
Dining
Cuisine sits at the heart of the Delamore experience. Menus are shaped by seasonal produce sourced locally or from the lodge’s own gardens, with each meal thoughtfully curated by the Executive Chef. From relaxed breakfasts to multi-course dinners, dining is intimate, personal, and quietly exceptional.
Experiences & Facilities
Time at Delamore centers on restoration and discovery. A serene day spa offers tailored treatments, while the infinity pool, sauna and grotto-style jacuzzi invite unhurried relaxation. Beyond the lodge, Waiheke unfolds through curated experiences—private vineyard tours, coastal walks, sailing, and helicopter escapes.
