205 and 205A Awaawaroa Road, Waiheke Island

Where Waiheke Meets the Soul of Italy Some places are purchased. Others are discovered. Hidden among the rolling hills of Waiheke Island, Poderi Crisci feels like a small corner of Tuscany settled quietly in the South Pacific. Only a short journey from Auckland’s international airport yet worlds away in atmosphere, the property unfolds across sunlit vines, olive groves and fertile gardens where land, wine and hospitality shape daily life. Here, island tranquillity meets global accessibility - a rare balance that continues to attract discerning visitors and investors from around the world. At its heart lies a celebrated vineyard and restaurant, already established as one of the island’s most beloved destinations. Guests gather for long lunches among the vines, weddings unfold against sweeping rural backdrops, and the land produces wine, olive oil and seasonal produce that reflect the character of the site. The Mediterranean philosophy of living close to the land feels natural here — growing, harvesting, cooking and sharing all part of the same story. Complementing the hospitality operation is a welcoming residential component. At the centre sits a Tuscan country-style villa with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, reflecting the relaxed warmth and rustic elegance of the setting. Outdoors, a 6 × 12 metre swimming pool and spa overlook the surrounding landscape — a private retreat to unwind after vineyard days or gather with friends beneath the Waiheke sun. More recently, a beautifully designed guest suite has been created above La Locanda Bistro. This fully self-contained residence includes a generous office, double bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. It connects to the main villa through the winery itself, where an elevated internal bridge crosses above the winemaking area — a striking architectural moment suspended above vats and barrels, reminding visitors how closely life and craft are intertwined. Beyond the existing buildings, further possibilities await. At the upper reaches of the property lies a designated building platform with elevated views stretching across the sea toward Awaawaroa Bay. Plans have been prepared for additional visitor facilities carefully positioned within the landscape, offering potential to expand the hospitality experience. The property also features an existing helipad, allowing direct access to Auckland in approximately ten minutes - a rare convenience that enhances both lifestyle and business potential. What makes Poderi Crisci particularly compelling is the flexibility within its foundations. Today it operates as a successful wine producer and hospitality destination, yet its future could take many forms - an elegant agriturismo, an expanded wedding venue, a boutique vineyard retreat, or a private estate with vines at its heart. Equally, one may simply preserve what already exists, stewarding a place deeply woven into Waiheke’s food and wine culture. Creativity and gathering have always been part of its story. Among the vines sits a remarkable amphitheatre designed for performances, celebrations and shared moments beneath the open sky — reflecting the founder’s vision of bringing a slice of Italian countryside culture to Waiheke Island. In a world where lifestyle, stability and connection to land are increasingly valued, opportunities like this are rare. New Zealand’s reputation as a safe and desirable country, combined with Waiheke’s blend of nature, gastronomy and proximity to Auckland, creates an offering that resonates far beyond the local market. Poderi Crisci is more than a vineyard. It is a way of life — where wine is crafted, food is grown, and people gather in a setting that feels timeless. A slice of Italy, shaped on Waiheke Island.
