Mercury Ridge is a large, private 5-room Italian villa, perched on sun-drenched north-facing slopes with extensive views across Cooks Beach and beyond to Mercury Bay. Located just two and a half hours from Auckland Airport, the villa is set upon large grounds among friendly farm animals and local wildlife, a fruitful orchard and a small native reserve. Mercury Ridge’s location assures guests peace and privacy while remaining in reach of the many local activities and attractions. Mercury Ridge has its own private helipad, perfect for those flying in from Auckland, Hamilton or Tauranga, or those planning a scenic flight over the region. The charismatic villa is split into five exquisite suites—each with its own bathroom and water views—and a number of premium facilities and spaces for all guests to enjoy. Each suite is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
