Property Description
Welcome to Delamore Lodge, a unique haven, offering luxury accommodation on Waiheke Island in New Zealands majestic Hauraki Gulf. From the moment you arrive at Delamore your senses and soul will awaken to the ultimate in relaxation and romance. Leave the rest of the world behind, if only for a few days. Inspired by hours spent on the land, the timeless romance of the Mediterranean, and the image of a Maori bone fishhook or matau, local architect Ron Stevenson together with the owner, Roselyn Barnett-Storey, has designed a remarkable building that affords breathtaking views, sensuality, and a oneness with its unique environment. Literally moulded into the hillside at Owhanake Bay, each level flows seamlessly into the next. A sweeping stairway links the dramatic entrance directly to the library, and on to the spacious guest lounge and dining area. From the library you can also wander into the central courtyard which features a tropical rock pool and waterfall, a deep, cave-like Jacuzzi, a sauna, health and beauty therapy rooms, and a wine cellar. The courtyard in turn cascades into the striking, Italian-style fireplace and outdoor dining area which is flanked by the lounge and the four luxurious guest suites.

Recreation Information
Recreation InformationWaiheke Island is renowned for its diversions from city life. Island life means beaches, golf, horseback riding, arts and crafts shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, world-renowned vineyards and olive-groves. Each Easter there is a hugely popular Jazz festival and in February 2003 the island*s inaugural food and wine festival took place. For water-lovers there is swimming, diving, kayaking, fishing and sailing. And for those willing to leave land and sea behind, why not take a scenic flight or even a tandem paraglide. At the lodge itself you can take a stroll along our own bush walk down to the bay or just laze on your private patio. You can take a dip in the chest-high Jacuzzi, have a sauna, or treat yourself to a massage, beauty therapy, or homeopathy from our in-house therapist.
