Rangihoua Villa

Elevated and expansive, Rangihoua Villa sits above our oldest and most established olive grove. Lush sun-drenched grounds, with views across the Pacific Ocean span 180-degrees, taking in everything from the Coromandel Peninsular to Auckland’s city lights.  

The private courtyard, with outdoor cooking facilities and large fireplace, provide space for up to 40 guests to enjoy cocktails, outdoor feasting and is the ideal backdrop for a wedding with a view. 

 The large in-ground pool enjoys all-day sun, and the poolside cabana (including outdoor bathroom facilities) provides the ideal spot for outdoor dining and canapes.  

Inside the villa there’s a chefs kitchen with butler's pantry, large indoor dining and generous living spaces, awash with New Zealand and European art, ceramics and furniture – both modern and vintage. All enjoy expansive views through the floor to ceiling bi-folds, which provide direct access to the patio, lawn and outdoor dining areas.  

There are plenty of spots for photos in the grove and landscaped gardens, poolside and with stunning sun sets over the Gulf.  

The Ranch

Located on Waiheke’s western edge, The Ranch stands in our sheltered grove shouldered by native bush.  With a pictureesque olive tree lined arrival, this home offers complete peace and privacy. 

The sundrenched courtyard and outdoor pavillion with cooking facilities and large outdoor fireplace, provide space for up to 40 guests to enjoy cocktails, outdoor feasting and makes the ideal location for a small wedding ceremony.  

Inside, every detail invites comfort and connection, with vintage rugs, artwork by New Zealand artists Pat Henly and David Hessel, whilst the chefs kitchen, oversized dining table and standalone bar facility located near the games room, ensures you have the space to host a lunch gathering or an evening celebration.  

The upstairs balaconies provide westward views to the Gulf, reminding you that the ocean is always close by and the sunsets are phenoemal. Combine that with the olive grove, the olive tree lined gravel driveway and the surrounding native bush and you've got the ideal setting for photos that will bring back memoriores of your special event for many years to come.
