Wharekauhau Country Estate

Perched on the edge of Palliser Bay, this grand Edwardian-style estate is a luxuriously secluded world of its own, stretching across 3,000 acres of rolling pasture, shimmering lakes and untouched coastline. Set between the Pacific Ocean and a working farm dotted with sheep, step into a sanctuary of timeless elegance in a bespoke suite with views of the sea to escape from daily life.

The main lodge, a fusion of rustic charm and French-inspired opulence, invites guests to indulge in the ritual of cocktail hour with free-flowing drinks and canapes, then linger in the dining room over candlelit four-course dinners with farm-to-table cuisine inspired by the estate’s fertile lands.
