La Bodega (meaning – The Cellar) boutique bed & breakfast is located on Park Point Drive on the western end of Waiheke Island, the jewel of Auckland’s stunning Hauraki Gulf. Set in wonderful native bush, the home enjoys panoramic views over Matarahui Bay and out to the Coromandel Peninsula.
Only 10 minutes by car from the passenger ferry at Matiatia Wharf and 20 minutes from Kennedy Point where the car ferry arrives. Explore the local attractions, such as the island’s award-winning wineries and olive groves, offering delightful wine-tasting tours and a chance to savour the exquisite regional flavours amidst beautiful scenery. The view from La Bodega’s deck also takes in extensive grounds and a boutique vineyard planted with Pinot Gris and Syrah, two of Waiheke’s most awarded varietals.
When you stay, take a pleasant and revitalising stroll through the vines and check out the raised-bed garden, source of many of the ingredients for their homemade breakfast.

11 months agoTucked away in the beauty of Waiheke, this place is truly a hidden paradise. From the moment I arrived, the host’s warm hospitality made me feel right at home. Thoughtful touches like the fresh fruit platter were a delightful surprise and much appreciated. Perched on the edge of serenity, this seaside retreat is a masterpiece of coastal elegance. Rooms with panoramic ocean views and gourmet dining create a haven of luxury. Impeccable service and thoughtful details elevate the experience, making every moment unforgettable. A perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, it’s a dream destination for those seeking a tranquil yet indulgent escape. If you’re looking to get away from it all, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

a year agoOur stay at this property was nothing short of amazing—it was even better in person than what the pictures showed. The views of the water were absolutely stunning and the grounds were gorgeous and meticulously kept. The guest house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt like so much care had been put into every detail. The breakfast provisions were such a nice touch—everything from milk, coffee, eggs, and juice to yogurt, bread, fresh fruit, ham, cheese, and vegetables and herbs from their garden. The hosts, Brett and Veronica, were so warm and welcoming, and the overall feel of the place was so calm and serene. Sitting on the deck and hearing the sound of the sea was a highlight—it’s the kind of place where you can truly relax. We loved every minute and wouldn’t hesitate to come back on our next trip to Waiheke. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful escape.

a year agoBrett and Veronica were amazing hosts and our stay was truly 5 stars. The views of the vineyard are beautiful, there is a short hike to the beach, and they have a cute dog who hung out with us for a bit. Veronica also took us into town for a yoga class one of the mornings!

a year agoOur stay at La Bodega was nothing short of wonderful! Brett and Veronica are the most hospitable hosts and they made us wish our short stay here was longer! The photos you see on Google is reflective of what you’d get if you stay at La Bodega. Inside, it exceeded my expectations. The house was very clean and tidy, and no lack of amenities. In fact, Veronica prepared a good set of fridge supplies (fruits, yoghurt, milk, eggs etc) that we didn’t manage to finish in the end! Brett recommended places to visit, and restaurants that served amazing food. If you’re staying here (or coming to Waiheke island anyway), do rent a car at the ferry terminal. Taxis are REALLY expensive on the island and having a car just makes it so much easier to get around as well.
