Luxury Villa in New Zealand With Expansive Valley and Ocean Views, With Heated Pool, Hot Tub, and BBQ

Kaitiaki Lodge is located in Onetangi on the north coast of the tropical Waiheke Island. Constructed in 2022 and designed by esteemed architect Leon Bieldt, this modern vacation home is a compelling marriage of beauty and functionality. Solar panels on the roof and a sophisticated rainwater collection and treatment system ensure a stay here is sustainable for all guests. 

The villa’s high-end amenities include a heated pool, a cedar hot tub, a wet bar, a BBQ, and an outdoor fireplace. With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this villa sleeps up to 10 guests, making it ideal for a group or family stay. Kaitiaki Lodge looks out over 10 pristine acres of native bush and the ocean beyond, creating a peaceful, restorative setting for a holiday. 

The fully equipped kitchen has a spacious fridge freezer, a large kitchen island, an espresso machine, and luxury Fisher & Paykel appliances. The custom-made dining table seats 10 and allows for gorgeous views of the bush through floor-to-ceiling windows. 

The villa boasts two large lounge areas, with one being an open-plan living room featuring a Sonos stereo and a luxurious wraparound sofa to take in breathtaking views of the bush and the ocean beyond. Another living area has a bespoke sofa, a large Smart TV, and a Sonos speaker. For those who must work from vacation home, the office has a desk space and a dedicated half bath. 

Outdoor living feels just as upscale as indoor relaxation at Kaitiaki Lodge. Relax on the veranda with a glass of local wine or gather with friends on the entertaining deck featuring lounge furniture, automated awnings for sunny days, and a fireplace for chilly nights.

Slip into the heated pool to enjoy hours of leisure and fun. Relax poolside under a large umbrella or unwind in the cedar hot tub. The pool area also has a wet bar with coffee facilities and a fridge freezer.

Enjoy a private, 20-minute nature walk through the bush. Stretch your legs and take in native plants and wildlife along a track running through the villa’s private nature reserve. 

Located just a few minutes drive from the ferry terminal on Waiheke Island, the villa’s surrounding area includes the stunning Onetangi Beach with its nearby bars and restaurants. You’ll also find wineries, breweries, cafés, and bars not far from the villa.
