A visit to Waiheke without a stay at Te Whau Lodge is missing the essence of what Waiheke has to offer. Our stay at Te Whau set the tone for our 2 week road trip through the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Gene and Liz were, and continue to be, by far the most gracious hosts that we... more

We have been to a number of 5 star Boutique hotels throughout NZ over the years and we keep returning to Te Whau lodge on Waiheke island because we can't seem to find anyone else who does it better. Te Whau lodge is quite simply an idyllic spot with amazing views over the island and its vineyards, with the mainland... more

Gene and Liz make you very welcome in their... more

We stayed at the "lodge" for two very short nights. The owners, who also cook you breakfast and dinner (for an additional charge) are amazing. Lodging on this Island and at this lodge is like taking a step back in time, maybe how Maui was in the 50's, but with all updated amenities and conveniences. The lodge is approximately 5-6... more

This place was BY FAR the highlight our trip!!!! I don't even know where to start...The setting is beautiful, on top of a hill, overlooking a small bay. All rooms have king sized bed facing the ocean, with private balcony....beautifully decorated...but the "star" of this place is the food....we had hors-d'oeuvres...amazing...paired with local chardonnay and then moved on to dinner... more
