Slightly Foxed in Waiheke

Slightly Foxed in Waiheke Dreamy Boutique accommodation on Waiheke Island Slightly Foxed named itself ( almost like a child or a boat is named ) after a bookshop in London.

But it could go by any other number of names that include the word ‘retreat’. Slightly Foxed will appeal to those who like the word ‘memorable’. It has the feeling of a little ‘Huka Lodge’. It was planned and developed by two Aucklanders . Then it was purchased by Andrew Melville, an Interior designer who cleverly layered and worked his magic to give the spaces a certain “je ne sais quois”. If you

want to collect your thoughts or plan a new direction in your life you will enjoy a weekend here. You can easily catch a bus from the ferry and arrive in time to sit in the Safari Room for an afternoon drink. Just pack bread, butter, milk and wine. Later on, climb back on the bus or call a cab and go in to Oneroa or a winery for dinner. If hunkering down and really retreating is what you want to do, there is a working kitchen and a barbecue.

Because I was not prepared to dispense or dispose of my books they came across the water with me . Then this gardener had a really difficult task of deciding whether to build in a bookcase against the gibralter board end of the wardrobe or find something that fitted such a slim little alcove . Magically I was doing an errand at Three Lamps and thought I should just give French Country Collections a visit. Voila ! It was love at first sight ! Black metal and fabulous knowledgeable service from Catherine and then two strong men cheerfully carried it up to its resting place .

I give up !
In my magical gardener's mind , I've tried to make Slightly Foxed's garden evocative of Le Luberon!
Twelve degrees and relentless rain are my tedious reality.
