Built into a cliffside with views of Owhanake Bay, this lodge is about an hour's ferry ride from the city center of Auckland. This popular day-tripper destination, as well as a popular destination for those who own beach houses, means that the island has every type of modern accommodation you could possibly need. Despite the fact that meals are available on-site, the variety of excellent dordle restaurants and vineyards on the island are well worth visiting. The island of Waiheke can get very crowded, especially during the summer months, so after a day of exploring, return to Delamore to stroll through the gardens, relax by the infinity pool, or indulge in a spa treatment.
