Kaitiaki Lodge

Set on ten acres of native Waiheke Island bushland, this luxury Waiheke Lodge offers a refreshing stay for family and friends. The word kaitiaki means guardianship in Māori. Māori have always understood that we don’t own property or land; instead, we are the custodians of it during our time here. We are privileged to share this beautiful piece of New Zealand with you.

Kaitiaki Lodge offers five large bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, two living rooms, a home office, a swimming pool, a hot tub and a private, 20-minute nature walk. Upon entering the lodge, you are greeted by a stunning interior with sustainable materials. The interior fuses dark natural tones with a huge amount of light coming from the floor-to-ceiling windows at the front of the house.

The kitchen has state-of-the-art Fisher and Paykel appliances, induction and gas hobs, a large fridge freezer and an espresso machine.
A carefully considered bar area and large kitchen island give you a great social space that flows into the rest of the living room.

A sizeable custom-made dining table seats ten comfortably, and the bespoke wrap-around sofa takes advantage of the magnificent views over the native bush and the ocean beyond. Outside the living area is a large entertaining deck with lounge furniture, huge automated awnings to keep the sun off and a fireplace to keep you warm on colder nights.

You reach another large lounge area downstairs with a comfortable, bespoke sofa and a large smart TV. In this area, you will find a wet bar with a fridge freezer – perfect for preparing your poolside cocktails. You’ll also find the laundry area with a washer and dryer. The pool deck is nestled into the native forest, where the 9-metre Heated Pool and Cedar Hot Tub complete your Kaitaiki experience.
