Te Karo Bay is a 400sqm architectural home set on 6,600sqm of private native bush above a secluded Coromandel beach. Two king suites occupy separate wings, so the layout suits one or two couples travelling together. The home sleeps four guests.

A saltwater infinity pool, a double-sided gas fireplace and stacker doors that open the entire front of the house to the ocean define the stay. The property also backs onto a 9,000-acre kiwi sanctuary, and guests often hear kiwi calling after dark.

The master suite includes a king bed, stone bath, twin showers, toilet and bidet. The second suite mirrors that standard with a king bed, twin showers, private ensuite, toilet and bidet. Underfloor heating runs through both ensuites and the living areas.

The designer kitchen includes an induction cooktop, oven, wine fridge and espresso machine. Outside, guests have an infinity pool, BBQ and dining setting, day bed, sheltered ocean-view seating and an outdoor shower. High-speed wifi, an office nook, a double garage and private entry complete the setup.

Arrival includes a personal meet and greet, a hamper pack, artisan teas and coffee, and premium New Zealand toiletries. A private chef, catered meals, additional housekeeping, a chauffeur, an in-house masseuse and a private tour guide are available at extra cost.

A native tree-lined driveway leads directly to Te Karo Bay, also known as Sailors Grave Beach. Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach sit a short drive away, while private charters run to the Alderman Islands for diving and fishing. Golf courses at Pauanui, Tairua and Whitianga are within easy reach.
