Much the same as the 7 wonders of the world, we have hand-picked 7 spectacular homes and private villas for your luxury holiday in New Zealand. Whether you are looking for a remote luxury hideaway or leaning a little closer to civilisation – we have homes to make your heart happy.

Falcon Brae Villa – Nelson & Abel Tasman

Sleeps 9 | 4 Bedroom | from $7000

Perched upon a hilltop, bordered by rivers on either side and its very own forest, this stunning property offers exclusive hosted use with a personal chef and house staff. The private location is perfect for a hidden getaway. Boasting access to native bush walks, swimming pool, gym equipment, media room and more, there are plenty of things to do during your stay in Nelson.   

Jagged Edge – Queenstown

Sleeps 6 | 3 Bedroom | from $4500

Ultra-modern and sleek, this home feels very secluded despite being just a 10-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown’s social scene. Grab a bottle from the private underground wine cellar, head to the infinity pool overlooking Lake Wakatipu, or cosy up in the media room – whatever takes your fancy, this home is certainly an iconic Otago luxury retreat.

Tarapunga – Bay of Islands

Sleeps 6 | 3 Bedroom | From $5250

Situated on a vineyard, this property oozes serenity and splendor. Wander the secluded beach nearby and make the most of the private deep-water mooring, a great base for swimming, fishing & diving. After a day exploring the Bay of Islands, head back home for an afternoon game of tennis followed by a session in the sauna. Indulge with daily three course dinners prepared by your personal chef and a welcome bottle of wine from the very vineyard you are staying on.

Scrubby Bay at Annandale – Pigeon Bay

Sleeps 8 | 4 Bedroom | from $5690

When it comes to luxury oceanfront stays, Scrubby Bay is a firm favourite. Let the sound of the waves wash over you as you lounge on the deck of this beautifully designed property.

Warm and welcoming, the cedar-clad interior glows in the sunshine giving you cosy cabin vibes with no sacrifice in space. 

This private retreat offers a premium experience from start to finish.

‘’Stay where the world can’t find you.’’

The Longhouse Tirimoana Whare Roa – Otago

Overlooking Karitane beachfront, this luxury coastal getaway benefits from all day sunshine and stunning views. A sanctuary for your wellness; head into the infra-red sauna followed by a cool spritz in the outdoor shower or grab a yoga mat and head out into the garden. A short 30-minute drive from Dunedin, it’s hard to believe this tranquil seaside settlement is tucked away just around the corner.

The Boathouse at The Landing – Bay of Islands

Sleeps 4 | 2 Bedroom | From $7800

Timber lined with large barn doors; this home is full of character with fresh, modern finishings.
