This space is Rangi, the Sky Father, a room built on the quiet strength of infinite blue.
Ground-floor light, vast and clear, spills through the wide bay window, mirroring the sheer generosity of the heavens and inviting you to pause in its expansive calm.
Every glance outside is a reminder of pure space, possibility, and ease—the horizon brought near.
Here, movement becomes a gentle drift, thoughts broaden to meet the open air, and the day feels fuller simply for being observed beneath Rangi's quiet dome.

Haumaru is the pinnacle of retreat: a high, silent space, sheltered and safe above the turning world.
This attic sanctuary feels entirely apart from time, a secret place of profound stillness only accessible by ascent.
Windows, like mindful eyes, frame the hushed gardens and untamed bush below, a world silenced by height.
Here, you arrive carrying the weight of everything, and leave with a clarity only pure solitude can gift.
It is more than a room; it is an exhalation of breath. It is your own safe harbour, held gently between earth and sky.

Bathing: The flow of water is thoughtfully shared in an ensuite sanctuary.

Sanctuary | Solitude | Calm

This space is the forest floor, where Ngahere speaks in a quiet dialect of shadows and light.
Sunbeams drift through the windows, illuminating bunk beds and a fold-out bed, resting in quiet, functional readiness—a shelter for the many.
Here, laughter might echo like birdsong, or a profound book of secrets might be read in silence. The garden frames it all, an invitation to roam inward with your imagination. Every corner offers refuge; every moment here feels sheltered, yet entirely free.

This space is a study in conscious cultivation.
Māra refers to the garden—not as a place of idle wandering, but as a deliberate field of growth and regeneration.
Here, sunlight, an agent of clarity, drifts across the floor, highlighting the minimal curve of a chair, the crisp geometry of the Queen bed, the subtle dialect of the leaves just beyond the glass.
It is a place to engage the intellect with simplicity.
You pause, you breathe, and you observe the quiet logic of existence itself: how presence, when tended, allows the self to root in calm and blossom into awareness.

Bathing: The flow of water is thoughtfully shared in an ensuite sanctuary.
Cross the threshold; let Māra's light reset your inner tide.

Onetai Estate
Named after the great spotted kiwi, this sanctuary captures its quiet, grounded spirit: a profound stillness that senses everything. Sunlight, filtered through the delicate veil of native bush, traces a slow dance upon the floor, mirroring the garden’s patient expanse.
A Queen bed rests at the room’s heart, a soft hollow for weary wings to fold. Here, within this protective dark, thoughts settle into the rich earth of the mind, and senses subtly expand. This quiet is not absence; it is the vibrant presence of the forest floor, alive, attentive, and waiting for your arrival.

The room is a quiet harbor, where the mind finds its still center.
Bathed in the soft, golden light of the valley’s descent, it invites a deep, inward gaze.
Here, stretched in contemplation or held by a book's embrace, the world's great weight softens into mindful stillness.
This sanctuary, anchored by the land itself, offers a profound sense of holding.
A secondary haven, an optional extra bed, welcomes a companion to this shared quiet—available at an additional offering.

The essence of Kapua, the cloud, drifts lightly across the sky and settles here, into this room.
From the quiet haven of the Queen bed, the evening light transforms the valley view into a fleeting work of art, shifting colors and shadows as if to remind you of impermanence and grace.
Time feels softer in this space; thoughts slow down, and the imagination floats, unhurried.
You arrive weighted by gravity, you leave lighter, having drifted a little above the current of your own life.
