Glasshouse Ara Roa

Itinerary/ Packages

For an exclusive couples' getaway, it is very hard to find anywhere more suitable than the amazing Glasshouse at Ara Roa, near Whangarei Heads.

A 40 minute helicopter trip from downtown Auckland, you will fly up the coast to your accommodation for an unforgettable luxury experience. Features include a salt-water reticulated rock pool, a rain shower that opens up to the outdoors with a stunning outlook to the ocean, and an open fire.

This world class setting and architecture comes naturally with the utmost of privacy, as you are staying on your own private and exclusive peninsula, with waterfront access all to yourselves.

This property has a two night minimum stay, but you do need at least two nights to properly immerse yourself in this unique bespoke location.

For larger groups, you can also book the nearby Te Whara Lodge for another 5 people to stay, and Ara Roa has other villas available also on their exclusive headland.

Terms & Conditions

Availability

All venues on Waiheke have high demand for landing slots and table bookings especially in the peak season. It is best to book well in advance, and if you only have one date that you would like to fly, please enquire before purchasing, as we may need to suggest a different restaurant or time of day depending on availability. 

Departure Location

This Heli Me experience departs from our City Heliport at Mechanics Bay in Auckland City. Other departure locations such as Auckland Airport, Ardmore Airport and North Shore Airport are available but may incur an additional charge. Please contact us for pricing. 

Passenger Weight and Aircraft Occupancy

Unlike large airliner aircraft individual passenger weight is critical for a helicopter. For a full helicopter the average passenger weight must generally be 80-85kg or below. There is also a maximum individual seat limit of 125kg. Heavier loads can sometimes be carried but it depends on the distribution of weight. Please let us know passenger weights at the time of booking. 

Each helicopter has a maximum occupancy equal to the number of seats. Infants may be carried on an adult's lap but are counted towards the total occupancy, so by law a spare seat must be kept for any children carried on a lap.

On shared scenic flights, passengers over 100kg may require an additional comfort seat to be purchased. 

Weather

In the event that the weather is unsuitable on the day then your experience will be cancelled and rescheduled at no cost to you. When booking please provide us with suitable contact information so we can get hold of you on the day in the event of a cancellation. We suggest you call on the morning of your experience if you have any doubt about the weather suitability.

Gift Vouchers

All gift vouchers are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase, or are otherwise specified if bought during a promotion. They are non-refundable but are transferable so they can be used by any other person.

Cancellation fee of 20% applies if cancelled over 7 days in advance.
