372 Estate - The Loft

Built above the olive oil cellar of this ten acre picturesque working olive grove on beautiful Waiheke Island (just a 40 minute ferry crossing from Auckland), this glorious rural retreat sits on a hilltop with views across Waiheke’s acclaimed vineyards to the waters of the Hauraki Gulf beyond.

An intimate hideaway for two, The Loft provides all you need for that relaxing island escape – a secluded patio boasting fine views, an indulgent outdoor bath (complete with his and hers flipflops!), fresh herbs and salad greens for the barbecue from the vegetable garden, big comfy sofas to sink into after a day’s exploring, a cosy open fire for cooler evenings, an award-winning winery restaurant (Stonyridge Vineyard) next door (just wander there and back through the olive groves) – and one of the island’s prettiest beaches only a short, but steep, 700 metre amble downhill!

Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the charming hospitality of 372’s owners and hosts, Warwick and Stephanie (who live next door), who will not only ensure that your fridge is stocked with breakfast goodies – but they will also delight in showing you around the estate and recommending things to see and do on the island. Whether it be visiting Waiheke's numerous wineries, exploring some of the quieter coves and beaches dotted around the island, browsing through the local art galleries and craft shops or enjoying Oneroa’s café society, we are sure you will love this romantic island retreat!

The neighbouring Veranda Café at Stonyridge Vineyard is a 'must' during your stay. You can relax with a glass of wine or two, overlooking the vines, whilst enjoying irresistible 'Pacific meets Mediterranean' cuisine.
