My wife and I had the pleasure of experiencing Marino Ridge Lodge early March 2022. From the moment you arrive until you sadly have to depart, the experience is one that we will cherish and remember forever! Peter & Caroline would have to be the most warm and caring hosts on the planet! First class service and cuisine, all within one of Waiheke's hidden gems. Marino Ridge Lodge is superbly positioned with some of the best views on the planet, the rooms and facilities are totally 5 star plus and will leave you with a lasting impression of pure opulence. Our spectacular hosts went above and beyond to deliver one epic, luxurious weekend away. Our suite, the Coromandel, was incredible, sleeping there with the ranch slider to our private balcony wide open at night, looking up to the stars was amazing! The tour around Waiheke with Peter was incredible, we covered so much and took in some of the finest scenery you can view in NZ! So quiet, peaceful, total luxury and we left feeling very much like were leaving two good friends behind! Kind regards Craig & Heather Counsell

My lovely wife whisked me away to celebrate our wedding anniversary and a significant birthday. I didn’t know we were going to Waiheke until the day before we left and I had no idea we’d be staying in such a magnificent place. Peter and Caroline were warm and welcoming from the first to last minute of our stay. We had the front room with the most magnificent view. Tui and other birds serenaded us throughout our stay. Our hosts expertly recommended all sorts of attractions and served the most amazing breakfasts. Tasty, filling and beautifully presented food. We could not recommended Marino Ridge highly enough. It was such a special treat. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks so much.
