AZZURO 150 TE WHAU DRIVE
WAIHEKE ISLAND AUCKLAND
150 TE WHAU DRIVE, WAIHEKE ISLAND A prestige property in one of New Zealand’s premier locations
Perched on a headland above olive groves and bush, the architecturally designed
home offers uninterrupted and expansive views over the Hauraki Gulf back towards
Auckland City and beyond.
Encompassing a total land area of approximately 4.27ha in one title, Azzuro
Groves represents an opportunity to secure a well established home in one of New
Zealand’s premier locations with an award winning olive oil producing business
attached to the property. For someone willing to invest their passion and time
the mature and producing olive groves represent a real lifestyle choice with income.
The home maximises unimpeded harbour views with 263 square metres of private
indoor-outdoor luxury living space and all the sophistication and amenities one
expects in a residence of this calibre.
THE RESIDENCE The home is defined by the sweeping views on offer from the extensive hardwood decking
area running along the dwellings frontage. From the open plan lounge and kitchen area
the extensive glazing means these views are carried indoors. Coupled with the views,
granite bench tops and polished tile floors give the home the ‘feel’ one would expect with
a residence in this unique location. The master bedroom also enjoys the vista on offer and
features two dressing areas with an ensuite. Two further double bedrooms are well
appointed and offer brilliant views.
The extensive use of glazing, with unrestrained views behind, creates a seamless and
dramatic sense of space and light throughout. With outstanding views, privacy, great
architecture, timeless interiors and exclusivity, all the elements for international living have
been woven together.

THE OLIVES
The eight olive groves contain 500 trees, predominantly of Tuscan cultivars -
Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino, with a later addition of the Spanish cultivar Picual.
A small number of Koroneiki trees were also planted.
Azzuro olive trees produce international award-winning Extra Virgin Olive Oil that
commands premium prices. Tender hand care is applied throughout the
production process; from growing to harvesting and processing through to storage
and bottling. Its competitive advantage and international appeal lies in the
exceptional growing features of the property. The property is free from chemical
sprays and boasts high temperatures coupled with a gently sloping hillside terrain –
the ideal natural coastal environment for olive trees. This cultivates excellent fruit
flavours. Azzuro’s olive mill and processing facility is also world class, imported
from Italy and constructed on site.
In addition to the processing of Azzuro’s Olive Oil, the processing mill offers
services to other olive growers on Waiheke and in Auckland, delivering high quality
Extra Virgin Olive Oil very efficiently and in a hygienic environment, guaranteeing
quality complying with international standards. Customers are offered seasonal
prices that provide production volumes that justify the investment in the mill.
Azzuro Extra Virgin Olive Oil has won best of class, gold, silver and bronze medals
both internationally and in New Zealand; most recently taking out gold at the 2012
prestigious Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil awards in the ‘Southern
Hemisphere/New Zealand Blends’ category.
LOCATION
In the heart of Auckland’s sparkling Hauraki Gulf, Waiheke Island is a picturesque
blend of farmland, forest, beaches, vineyards and olive groves. Waiheke is just a
35-minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland, and has an international reputation
for food and arts. The Island was once a sleepy summer vacation retreat with
traditional kiwi batches dotting its edges. It retains that feel, but is now a
renowned holiday and lifestyle location. The island is deserving of its fine
reputation for its vineyards, local cafés and restaurants.
Located approximately 17.7 km from Auckland the island is the second-largest in
the Hauraki Gulf after Great Barrier Island. It is the most populated, with nearly
8,730 permanent residents. The climate is said to echo that of Bordeaux in France
boasting temperatures 3-4 degrees hotter on average than Auckland, with 30% less
rainfall.
From the ferry landing at Matiatia Wharf it is a short walk to the small town of
Oneroa, the island's hub, with its shops, cafés and bars. Another minute’s walk
gets you to Oneroa Beach, one of the most accessible beaches. The north-
facing beaches— sheltered bays with little surf—are the best for swimming. The
most popular is Palm Beach, 10 minutes by bus from Oneroa. Another great
beach on Waiheke is Onetangi, on the north side of the Island, 20 minutes from
Matiatia by bus. Whakanewha Regional Park, on the south side of the Island, is a
lovely bush reserve with gently cascading waterfalls leading down to a half-moon
bay. Waiheke Island is also home to 35 vineyards, 20 of which are producing.
