Auckland's Waitakere Resort and Spa is a distinctive boutique hotel occupying a unique ridge-top position, set among 28 hectares (more or less) of untouched native New Zealand rainforest. Conveniently located just a 30-minute drive from the Auckland CBD and 45 minutes from Auckland International Airport, the estate's beautifully manicured grounds and garden offer guests panoramic views over the surrounding hinterland and distant views of Auckland City and Waitemata Harbour.

Offering 26 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, the hotel offers a range of amenities including a restaurant and bar, lobby lounge, day spa, gym and conferencing facilities. The property also includes a swimming pool, sauna, helicopter landing pad and an extensive range of on-site team-building activities. The offering also includes an Owner or a General Manager's residence.

There is resource consent to redevelop the property with the addition of a further 12 accommodation rooms, taking the total offering to 38 guest suites. The plans also include a reception, car parks and offices.

The Waitakere Resort and Spa offers owner-operators or passive investors the rare opportunity to acquire a freehold boutique hotel with vacant possession in the wider Auckland region. Alternatively, the property is well suited for use as an exclusive lodge, luxury private residence, or executive retreat.
