Delamore Lodge

Delamore Lodge, Waiheke Island, New Zealand

Our rating: Deluxe

The design of Delamore Lodge draws inspiration from a combination of Mediterranean architecture and the image of a Maori bone fishhook. The lodge is moulded into the hillside at Owhanake Bay, overlooking the stunning Hauraki Gulf, with each level flowing into the next. The colour scheme reflects the natural surroundings: sandy browns and rich chocolates cover the handcrafted curved and textured walls to provide a calming and tranquil environment. The beautifully appointed guest suites makes the most of the ocean views, whilst still offering warmth and plenty of luxury. The spacious guest areas, jacuzzi, tropical rock pool and therapy room all combine to enhance the atmosphere of sheer relaxation.
