We pride ourselves on providing a very relaxed, homely but private atmosphere with Maralyn preparing great food for our informal hosted dinners which are very much part of staying with us. The location just north of Auckland city is exceptional, but as our guests kindly tell us, it's that extra piece of personal magic which makes The Ridge experience something very special - see our website to read our previous guests comments as they will tell you a lot about us. Set high on a ridge above the historic village of Puhoi with panoramas of native bush and the sea, our 3 suites have super-king or twin beds, large windows and private north facing decks. Perfect for a romantic break or for international guests starting or ending their NZ stay, it's in a great location with lot's to see and do - we are close to auckland city but .. a world away. Maralyn, Ian & no doubt Charlie (the terrier) will ensure that your stay at The Ridge will be a wonderful experience and one to remember.
