WAIHEKE ISLAND



Nurtured by Nature
A series of gentle invitations to slow down and become present guides you through Waiheke Island's bush, led by an ANFT-accredited forest therapy guide who shapes the walk's pace rather than narrating it. A private transfer brings you from your Waiheke accommodation to begin, each invitation turning your attention to the ferns, birdsong, and light around you. A tea ceremony closes the experience, tea and snacks accompanying a final pause before a private transfer completes the return.
Set atop a hillside surrounded by nature, with ocean views stretching out below, a massage can be arranged as an add-on to your stay. Have it in the privacy of your villa or out on the balcony, whichever suits the moment. Arranged on request, and subject to availability.

Starry Night
Private yoga or pilates sessions can be arranged as an add-on to enhance your stay, held on the outdoor deck surrounded by native bush and ocean views. If you prefer to stay in, instructors are also available in the privacy of your villa, with sessions tailored to your pace.
Look up at Waiheke Island's night sky through telescopes, binoculars, and the naked eye, well beyond the city lights that wash out fainter detail. A luxury vehicle collects you from your hotel to begin, your specialist guide revealing planets and constellations overhead before turning the telescope toward distant stars and galaxies further out, a hot drink keeping you warm throughout. A private transfer completes the return to your accommodation.
