Atea Lodge
Atea Lodge is a boutique accommodation set 122 metres above sea level on the Tokatea mountain range, surrounded by native bush and gardens. The lodge comprises three luxury suites, with only two occupied at any time to ensure a peaceful experience. Each suite has its own entrance and is positioned to capture panoramic views across to Waiheke Island, Te Kouma harbour and beyond. An expansive Queenslander-style covered deck allows guests to enjoy these vistas rain or shine, while the property's two acres provide abundant space for relaxation and privacy.
Accommodation includes a superb café-style breakfast served between 7.30am and 9am, either in the dining room or on the deck. The menu features homemade muesli with yoghurt and berry compote, French toast with bacon, and scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and spinach, accompanied by fresh orange juice, espresso coffee or a selection of teas. A welcome bottle of New Zealand wine and craft beer is provided in each room upon arrival.
The lodge features a lounge with sofas, books, board games, Netflix, and a full-sized billiard table with a quality sound system. Guests can wander the gardens past rock walls to a large pond where native birdlife including Fantails and Tuis can be observed. An outdoor claw-foot bath positioned by the pond offers both daytime relaxation and stargazing opportunities. On clear nights, the open skies are exceptional for stargazing and astrophotography.
Located just five minutes drive from the historic town of Coromandel, the lodge is well-positioned for exploring the region. Automatic closing gates provide security and privacy, while ample free parking is available. The property suits those seeking quiet celebration—whether anniversaries, birthdays or romantic getaways. Coromandel town offers numerous restaurants, cafes and takeaway options for dining beyond the included breakfast.
