Here is a blurb about it
Waiheke Heights is conveniently located close to vineyards, beaches and restaurants.Situated on one of the highest points on the western end of the island it has fabulous all round views of the Hauraki Gulf islands and Auckland City. It also looks out over it's own 4.7 hectare estate,which includes an olive grove , lake and landscaped gardens. At the end of a no exit road, Waiheke Heights is a most private properrty. Waiheke Heights has two self contained properties,The Lodge and the nearby Woolshed. The Lodge has it's own indoor heated swimming pool. It is furnished with antiques and origional New Zealand artwork. It also has a 40" LCD screen home theatre making it suitable for small conferences,big matches and other gatherings.

Sounds fantastic!
(subject to dates and cost of course

)

**Lauren** · 10-26-2007, 03:46 AM

Well we were thinking perhaps the weekend of the 18th May - or similar - - after school goes back from the April holidays - cost would depend on numbers and we would have to work it out - It wouldnt be bargain basement prices but hopefully would be affordable

*honeymoon* · 10-26-2007, 04:35 AM

Love to come, but like Julia it will depend on dates, as I'm in the middle of organising a conference for Queens Birthday weekend.

Maybe it should be organised so that Meryl could stop off on the way to the US?

Oh I wish I could but I have a feeling hubbys going to think the trip back to NZ to scrap is a bit over the top ..... hmmm how can I tie in a work trip .... will keep an eye out for the dates

hoozieg · 10-26-2007, 05:42 PM

Wow! I would LOVE to come to New Zealand and scrap at a place like this! I’ll bet you’re thinking just the downunders will come, but I’ll bet there’s a few of us Yankees that would really enjoy the trip! My husband will think I’m nuts – first Las Vegas and then New Zealand? Then DD will INSIST on coming to see where LOTR was filmed! Not sure I can swing a flight there cuz there’s a family reunion in Washington DC in August, But I’ll sure look into it!

**Lauren** · 10-26-2007, 05:50 PM

Well we would love to have some real grannies - Flat ones are more than welcome but we would love to have some real ones too!!

**shazzt** · 10-26-2007, 11:55 PM

People from other places would be very cool! How much fun would that be! I wonder how close it is to the vineyards.....

**Donut** · 10-27-2007, 06:35 AM

Sounds like Heaven! I was holding my breath reading the first post, thinking it might be over the Summer holidays when we are away, what a relief to see May!!
Sounds good!!
I'd be in, subject to cost and dates!!

twinsmomflor · 10-27-2007, 08:48 AM

Oh my....... Why there isn't one in California?....Have fun!

**Erica** · 10-31-2007, 03:10 PM

I'm in, again subject to costs and date - I was wondering when we would be having our next crop but this is wayyy better. Thanks Lauren for putting this together.

**Lauren** · 10-31-2007, 03:22 PM

Actually Sharon and I were thinking a pre Christmas lunch or dinner get together might be nice . We could go and meet somewhere or we could have somethign at my place ( which would be probably be only good if it were during the day during the week when the family arent around!!!)
