What Delamore Lodge does
Delamore Lodge is a boutique luxury lodge and day spa located above Owhanake Bay on Waiheke Island, New Zealand, approximately a 40-minute ferry from Auckland. The property comprises six accommodations — four individually named luxury suites (Awatea, Motu, Mahana, Moana), the two-bedroom Whareto Apartment, and the two-bedroom Owner's Villa (Ataahua) — with a combined maximum capacity of 16 overnight guests and a wedding/event pavilion that holds up to 50 daytime guests. Core offerings include overnight accommodation, a chef-curated on-site restaurant featuring local Waiheke produce and wines, a boutique day spa using RAAIE and Nellie Tier skincare, and bespoke wedding, elopement, and corporate retreat services.
The lodge operates a direct-to-consumer luxury hospitality model with ancillary enterprise sales for weddings and corporate retreats. Revenue is generated from multiple streams: accommodation stays (quote-based in NZD inclusive of 15% GST), curated signature experience packages (Linger Longer, Retreat to Wellness, Gourmet Indulgence, An Intimate Escape), day spa treatments (NZ$670 individual and NZ$1,370 couples packages), fine dining, and exclusive-use event bookings with two-night minimums. Distribution is primarily through the company website, phone, and email, supplemented by referrals from local tour operators (Ananda Tours, Waiheke Wine Tours, Terra & Tide), helicopter arrivals via Heletranz, and gift voucher sales through the Capstone Hotels e-commerce shop.
The property has no proprietary technology platform; it relies on standard third-party booking engines (Staahmax, SwiftBook), PCI DSS-compliant payment processing (DPS Payment Express), and Shopify-based voucher sales. It changed ownership in 2020, has undergone refurbishment including the Owner's Villa, and operates under Capstone Hotels management. It holds Qualmark certification, is listed in the Michelin Guide, and maintains sustainability partnerships with Vendella, AllPress Olives, and other local Waiheke producers.
