Lifestyle at Cable Bay

Positioned within one of Waiheke Island’s most exclusive rural addresses, this extraordinary lifestyle property is a quiet triumph of architecture, landscape and light. Winner of the 2009 Home of the Year and a 2011 NZIA Medal Finalist (Architect Prize), one of New Zealand’s most prestigious architectural awards, the residence was designed by celebrated architects David Mitchell and Julie Stout as a masterclass in sculptural form, spatial poetry and crafted simplicity. Just eight minutes from the ferry and village, it offers both architectural distinction and everyday convenience.
Set across 3.1216 hectares of private countryside, the home sits gently in the landscape, its distinctive timber forms wrapped in sliding cedar screens that choreograph light, shadow and privacy throughout the day. From the outset, the design reveals itself as both bold and understated, with a deceptive scale that makes the home feel intimate for everyday living, yet rich with spaces to explore and experience.
At its heart lies a dramatic open-plan living, dining and kitchen pavilion, beautifully grounded by warm bamboo flooring and flanked by two soaring, two-level wings. One side houses the main suite on the ground floor, while the other contains four cabin-like bedrooms above and a luminous, light-filled room to think, designed as a place of reflection and creativity. Inspired by Ryokan-style architecture, the guest suites feel private, calm and deeply connected to nature.
Handmade joinery, bold colour accents, including the vibrant yellow main bedroom, and carefully restrained materials define the interiors, creating a rhythm of moments and moods throughout the home. Every doorway, window and cedar screen is thoughtfully framed to capture native bush, changing skies and distant sea views.
Wide vistas reach toward Rangitoto Island and the Auckland skyline, while two distinct outdoor living zones offer very different experiences. One faces the water, while the other is a sheltered, private courtyard tucked behind the living pavilion. Beneath a dramatic upper room with a zig-zag skylight, a protected outdoor retreat creates an ideal space for entertaining or quiet reflection.
Outside, the home features a heated swimming pool and spa, extensive landscaped gardens, established native bush, an amphitheater, a productive orchard of fruit and nut trees, and around 55 mature olive trees, complemented by additional visitor or worker accommodation for extended family or staff.
A separate rear entrance to the upper-level guest wing allows visitors to come and go independently, preserving privacy for owners. Built by respected craftsman Ron Jackson, this exceptional home stands proudly in its landscape - a place designed to inspire slow living, creativity, gardening, and the pleasure of gathering and sharing meals.
This is a rare architectural offering where distinction, calm and substance exist in complete harmony.

Wakarara Country Estate - A Landmark of Luxury

Discover one of New Zealand’s most extraordinary estates. Wakarara Country Estate is set against the dramatic backdrop of the Ruahine Ranges and represents the pinnacle of refined country living in Hawke’s Bay.

The property’s location was chosen for the raised plateau that the home is sited on, with panoramic views across the hinterland of Central Hawke’s Bay. The rural landscape is a combination of viticulture, horticulture, and rolling pastureland. On the short commute from the twin cities of Hastings and Napier, it offers buyers a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property in one of New Zealand’s most picturesque regions.

Wakarara is crafted with materials sourced from around the globe. The homestead, secondary accommodation, and ancillary buildings span over 2,286 sqm and are set within approximately 24.7 hectares. Quite possibly the finest single-level home of its kind in the country, it blends timeless architectural character with modern luxury, designed for multi-generational living or as a prestigious retreat.

Vast joinery opens to manicured lawns, covered terraces, and views beyond. Accommodation in the residence is provided by six luxurious bedrooms and six bathrooms that provide privacy and comfort.

Informal living is catered for with a family room adjoining the executive kitchen and scullery. Amenities elevate the estate to international standards: a heated indoor pool, gymnasium, sauna, snooker and media room, a defined large office or board room, and six-car garaging is provided for. Extensive service facilities and separate secondary accommodation that has two bedrooms and bathrooms allow for comfortable onsite management, or further guest accommodation to the same impeccable standard.

Beyond the homestead, manicured lawns, landscaped gardens, and sweeping pastoral vistas unfold. Accessed via a sweeping driveway and surrounded by park-like grounds, the property retains the authenticity of a working rural estate, offering scope for equestrian pursuits, viticulture, or simply the enjoyment of wide-open space. The elevated position captures the essence of Hawke’s Bay - rolling hills, native bush, and endless skies.

Location is another hallmark. Near the charming village of Ongaonga, the estate enjoys proximity to the service towns of Central Hawke’s Bay. Hastings and Havelock North, with their renowned wineries, restaurants, and championship golf courses, are easily accessible. Meanwhile, Napier Airport offers seamless connections to Auckland, Wellington, and international gateways.

Whether a private family residence, a luxury retreat, or a base for exploring New Zealand’s celebrated landscapes, this estate delivers unparalleled scale, privacy, and opportunity.

Parkhill lifestyle with ocean vistas

Commanding an elevated position within the desirable Parkhill Farm, this timeless residence showcases sweeping ocean views and a captivating outlook across rolling vineyards to the distant Kaweka Ranges - a breathtaking panorama that evolves beautifully with every season. Clad in easy-care Lawson cypress, now gracefully ageing to a light silver hue, the exterior harmonises seamlessly with the tranquil surroundings.

Thoughtfully crafted with expansive glazing, soaring vaulted ceilings, and enviable indoor-outdoor flow, the intelligent design ensures an abundance of natural light floods the home and every space embraces the breathtaking vistas. With its contemporary style and flawless finish, this elegant residence delivers a relaxed, low-maintenance lifestyle for modern living.

Beautifully executed by Rabbitte Joinery, the kitchen features sleek granite benchtops, quality Bosch appliances, and excellent storage, including a walk-in pantry. Positioned open-plan with the living and dining room, entertaining is effortless, with seamless access onto a generous sheltered courtyard, with louvre cover and expansive elevated views, as well as sliding doors opening to a sun-drenched front terrace overlooking the sea.

Warm and welcoming, with polished concrete floors, a wood burner, and a heat pump, the generous open-plan living area leads to a private, separate sitting room, complete with built-in library shelving and tranquil sea views.

With an elevated westerly aspect, the primary suite is perfectly appointed with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and sliding doors opening to a private terrace. Three additional double bedrooms, a large family bathroom, and a separate office, offer an abundance of accommodation for family and friends. A separate laundry, guest powder room, and excellent storage, complete this practical home. A generous integral double garage has both front and rear access, while a large freestanding shed includes a built-in workbench.

Immaculate lawns are complemented by a sophisticated pop-up irrigation system, and you'll find a plethora of citrus trees, avocado, persimmon, and feijoas, alongside raised vegetable beds and beautifully established gardens that add to the allure. Generous grounds provide the perfect opportunity to add a swimming pool, creating an oasis that feels like a holiday retreat.

Nestled within 75-hectares (more or less) of rolling farmland and an active vineyard, Parkhill Farm offers a serene lifestyle, while being conveniently located just minutes from exceptional local schools, renowned wineries, walking tracks along the beach, cycle trails, and the world-famous Cape Kidnappers Golf Course, and less than 20 minutes' drive to Napier, Hastings, and Havelock North. This is more than just a home - it's a wonderful lifestyle awaiting your discovery.
