Cradled in the seclusion of the Pacific Ocean, lies Great Mercury Island - just 25 minutes by helicopter from Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. This privately owned island offers a tranquil ambience, in luxury surroundings, yet remains completely unspoilt in its pristine natural state. Atop the rolling hillsides are panoramic views of the pacific ocean, including white sandy beaches, rugged coastlines and native bush headlands. The secluded location of Great Mercury Island ensures the utmost privacy.

The two superb villas are situated a stones throw from the ocean. The master bedroom offers its own private porch, a king-size bed with views over the natural harbour, walk in wardrobe and large bathroom. Bedrooms 2 & 3, each with their own distinctive character offer twin and queen bedded accommodation. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms. Bedrooms 4 - 8 are in a separate adjoining villa providing a variety of accommodations with combinations for children and nannies. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms.

It's hard to imagine running out of things to do on Great Mercury Island. The island's more-than-ample staff are available to customize activities around the island's several lovely beaches, hiking trails, well-equipped gymnasium, and seemingly endless water sports such as windsurfing, water-skiing, and fishing, snorkeling or kayaking. Right off the Main House's terrace there is a large pool and the new Boat house offers a dining area with bar.
