Have a read through the information about Whananaki as a location, the house, amenities and FAQ’s

Whananaki offers endless ways to enjoy the coast. Swim, kayak, or paddleboard on the estuary, cast a line, take the boat out, or go for the classic wharf jump. Wander across the Southern Hemisphere’s longest footbridge, tackle a scenic hike, or dive into clear blue waters.
With beaches just minutes away, you can picnic under the pōhutukawa trees on a quiet beach or catch a wave at a surf beach or the famous Whananaki Bar. There’s even a hidden lagoon, but you’ll need a local tip to find it.
Whether you're up for adventure or just want to kick back at the bach and watch the tide roll in, Whananaki has something for everyone.
Our retreat offers luxury and year-round comfort. Warm and cozy in winter, and in summer, just open the double doors to let the sea breeze flow through. Designed with high-end finishes, every detail ensures you’ll want for nothing.
The house features two dwellings, each with three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a lounge, connected by a covered walkway. The main house brings everyone together with its spacious open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area.
