Hillbrook Estate – Coromandel

Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

Hillbrook Estate offers a unique private haven on the Coromandel Peninsula. It is set across 45 hectares of working farm, native forest, and coastline, exclusively yours for the duration of your stay. Nestled on a hilltop, the home takes in breathtaking views across the Pacific Ocean. Mature pōhutukawa and native bush frame the property and its landscape.

Picture yourself on the deck with coffee in hand, overlooking rolling farmland and ocean beyond. Then, set off to explore the estate’s private beach track or wander among the restored ponds and orchards.

Inside, the nine-bedroom home is designed to feel like a natural extension of the land around it. The kitchen forms the heart of the house – the space where everyone gathers, whatever the plans for the day. The main living areas are relaxed and welcoming. They are ideal for large family groups or gatherings that matter. There is plenty of room to spread out together or find a quiet corner alone.

Outside, a heated indoor pool offers a peaceful escape at any time of year. Meanwhile, the estate’s working farm, home to around 100 dairy calves, invites guests to properly connect with the land. A 15-minute walk through ancient pōhutukawa forest leads down to a pristine, secluded white-sand beach with its own surf break. This is perfect for swimming, fishing, or simply taking in the scenery. For those wanting to explore further, activities on offer include kayaking, paddle boarding, free diving, game fishing, mountain biking, and guided farm and beach walks. You can also enjoy curated services such as a private chef and in-house massages.

A helipad and 500-metre grass airstrip make arrival easy. The estate is just 10 minutes from Whangamata and 2 hours from Auckland or Hamilton.

Please note: Hillbrook Estate is available for exclusive-use bookings for up to 20 guests. This is ideal for family reunions, milestone celebrations, and gatherings among close friends.
