Escape to the island with a stay in one of four beautiful homes set in their peaceful olive groves across Waiheke’s coast and countryside.
The four homes each have their own distinct character and have undergone extensive refurbishments to enable effortless outdoor living, providing an easy connection to nature, while considered design and thoughtful details enrich your Waiheke experience.
Allpress Olive Groves is the latest venture from iconic coffee visionary, Michael Allpress. Allpress grow, mill and blend world-class extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) from fresh, seasonal olives cultivated in their island groves.
Michael Allpress, a long-time Waiheke Island local, believes in his island home’s natural provenance. “Extra virgin olive oils from Waiheke are some of the best in the world. It all comes back to the unique terroir, diverse varietals and climate.”
Along with a range of award-winning extra virgin olive oils, they offer artisan tastings, mill tours and a suite of four beautiful holiday homes, set in their expansive Waiheke Island groves.
If you’re searching for a unique island retreat or a characterful home to spend time with friends and family, Allpress Olive Groves' generous, considered properties offer something special and new.
“All our homes are comfortable and characterful with glimpses of the sea, vintage furniture, eclectic art and textured, natural materials,” Michael Allpress says. “We really want people to feel comfortable when they stay with us. Like they’re visiting a friend's home.”
A love of interior design and Waiheke’s incredible natural environment has been central to the curation of Allpress Olive Groves stays. Each home feels distinctly different, and yet there’s a common aesthetic and value system centred around food, commune and relaxation which holds them together.
For those looking for a unique island retreat, holiday home, or a comfortable place to spend time with friends and family, Allpress Olive Groves's selection of characterful homes, nestled in their groves, offer the perfect haven, whilst providing a unique connection to Allpress’s olive growing and EVOO production processes.

The Ranch
On Waiheke’s western edge, The Ranch stands in a sheltered grove shouldered by native bush, offering complete peace and privacy for up to 12 people. Inside, every detail invites comfort and connection, including a cosy Studio stove woodburner, vintage rugs, and works by New Zealand artists Pat Henly and David Hessel – while a separate games room gives everyone space to play.
