Delamore Lodge

Outstanding venue with incredibly attentive service. We didn't eat in for dinner so cannot comment but breakfast was lovely with remarkable views.  Maybe an a la carte option for breakfast would have mad ir perfect.

What an amazing experience! Delamore Lodge was our first stop of a three week vacation in New Zealand and that's actually not fair! I knew it would be better than your typical nice place, but this was unreal! We were picked up at the ferry by a member of the Delamore staff, Nacho (super helpful every time we interacted with him) and he brought us to the Lodge for a very personal check in (complete with a glass of champagne), and tour of the facility. Wow, it has the most breathtaking views and warm, comfortable rooms and common areas. What a first class delight. We knew we'd be tired after a long flight so we booked their 3 course dinner with wine pairing for the night we arrived. The evening started with delicious canapes/appetizers and a high-end cocktail and then we sat for 3-course dinner. We had delicious farm duck on seasonal greens, gulf snapper on heirloom carrots with kumara gnocchi following by Belgian chocolate fondant with chocolate mint ice cream - a truly wonderful meal and evening! This is a small lodge, with just 6 rooms, and one thing I really enjoyed was their canape/cocktail hour when the guests would come together and you can talk with them. We met some wonderful people and shared tips on our travels. Our room looked out to a little patio and beautiful lawn that was visited by groups of bunnies each evening - too cute! I took a dip and quick swim in their gorgeous infinity pool, overlooking Owhanake Bay. Oh and breakfast was delicious each morning. Team members Lendy and Felle were terrific, they did so much to help us and make us even more excited about the rest of our trip ahead. We had amazing trip overall, but I definitely wish we had stayed at the Delamore more than two nights!

We had a truly special weekend at Delamore Lodge. From Adam’s warm welcome at the ferry to our departure, everything was flawless. The team were genuine, professional, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The lodge itself is beautiful, with wonderful shared spaces, and the attention to detail was outstanding.

A wonderful cozy lodge able to host only up to 16 people at a time. This made the experience so intimate and special. The interactions with the staff made the stay even more beautiful. Nehan was one of the team members who was extremely helpful and kind, and we want to thank him here as well. It’s lovely to experience the atmosphere of a luxurious and extraordinary designer place that still feels like home and coziness. The spa, pool, and food were amazing. 10/5. Thank you, and we can’t wait to come back!

We visited Waiheke Island for a family wedding and chose to stay at Delamore Lodge, it was so relaxing and tranquil there. Beautifully appointed and an extremely comfortable villa with everything you need. It was a very enjoyable stay. We would highly recommend Delamore Lodge to anyone thinking of visiting the island. We hope to be back again soon.
