Our Philosophy

We believe in spaces that honour the land they inhabit. Each property has been thoughtfully designed using reclaimed and sustainable materials, embracing the patina and texture of age as a feature rather than something to hide.

This isn't about luxury for luxury's sake—it's about creating places where you can breathe deeply, move slowly, and remember what it feels like to simply be.

The Kauaeranga Valley

Just fifteen minutes from Thames township, the Kauaeranga Valley serves as the gateway to the Coromandel Forest Park. The Pinnacles and countless hiking trails begin minutes from your door.

The river's emerald pools are close enough to hear—perfect for swimming, fly fishing, or simply listening. Mountain bikers can follow the gentle river trail to the valley head, while those seeking quieter pursuits will find local towns, Saturday markets, and endless views.
