Experience the Exceptional

Incredible Hospitality

From private chef masterclasses to a personalised tasting with the winemaker themselves all in the luxury of the cellar in your exclusive residence. Choose estate to plate for your provisions and dining experiences or go fishing, catch your own crayfish or pick seasonal produce from the vegetable & herb gardens. Enjoy personalised tastings of local craft beer, gins, whiskeys and of course New Zealand's renowned wines.

Signature Experiences

The dramatic topography of New Zealand allows for a wide range of activities right on the doorsteps – or sometimes even inside the Villas such as chef masterclasses, in-house wine tasting, personal yoga classes, health spa and wellness treatments, a round on a world class golf course or fly fishing lessons with friends.  Enjoy farm tours, 4WD, quad bike and horse riding safaris, snow and water sports, guided wildlife safaris or hiking and biking tours. The villa locations are ripe for exploration by scenic helicopter flights and tailor made sporting, arts or cultural excursions.

Sustainability

Sustainability is not a compromise on luxury but an essential part of it. Experience eco-friendly practices woven into every aspect of your stay. Enjoy world-class amenities and impeccable service while knowing that your stay is treading lightly on the planet. As you immerse yourself in unparalleled natural beauty, you can feel good knowing that your stay actively supports local biodiversity and conservation efforts.

Spectacular Destinations

Each luxury villa in the collection has been carefully chosen to offer diverse landscapes throughout New Zealand. Whether you’re looking to experience Pacific beach vibes, rugged coastal wilderness, a remote high country station, or alpine environs with breath-taking mountain and lake views, there is a spectacular and secluded villa waiting to be enjoyed. With plenty of activities and experiences to enjoy on site and nearby, a private villa stay is a holiday destination in itself.

Architecture and design

Marvel in the architecture and design that has seen the properties feature in global architecture awards. With engineering feats cantilevered over cliffs or constructed in the most remote locations, utilising natural materials and incorporating sustainability all whilst protecting the environment. Then venture indoors to luxuriate in the interior architecture, superb art, soft furnishings and amenities.

  • Relaxed Family Holiday

    We enjoyed the most fabulous 10 days at the Annandale Homestead in January. It was precisely the relaxed, family holiday that I had been hoping for...We walked, we jogged, we mountain biked for hours at a time and often without coming across another person - just sheep and cows and the magnificent views of Pigeon Bay for company. It was liberating to have a sense of isolation whilst having all the comforts you could possibly desire waiting for you back at the house.

  • Seascape - Absolutely Amazing!

    If one looks at a real private stay - this is the place - you have the whole bay to yourself, arrive by helicopter and you have your own luxury cabin over the bay..... absolutely stunning in all respects.

  • Between seven stars and heaven.

    Our family of 11 stayed in the Sacred Space and The Eyrie. The accommodation is super luxurious but still very relaxed. We had personal chefs for our special anniversary dinner at the Rahimoana. Absolutely between seven stars and heaven.

  • Stunning alpine location.

    An amazing place in an amazing location. Our family of five with teenage kids stayed for three nights and loved it.

  • Decadence, delight and a dream getaway.

    Every bite, every plunge, every yoga pose, or considered accessory or kind guidance and wonderful conversation- every moment of our stay at Te Arai was pitch perfect.

  • An Unforgettable Destination

    An unbelievable place to relax and revive. Each couple could enjoy equally stunning rooms/en-suites but gather to enjoy a daily 3 meal menu that met all our requirements from a ketogenic diet to gluten free. Sitting in a spa surrounded by southern hills is a highlight. Gourmet food and an extensive selection of refreshments made this an unforgettable destination.

  • So much better than a classic lay-at-the-beach honeymoon

    We came to honeymoon, and felt like we grew our family! The team would turn what were already amazing experiences into life long memories! I mean who pulls up a secret bottle of chilled Champagne from the river when out on a ‘picnic’?! This was so much better than a classic lay at the beach honeymoon – thanks for making NZ and our honeymoon unforgettable!

  • Would use again!

    Our 3-night corporate retreat at Summerlee was wonderful - the whole team loved that there was staff waiting for them at the door on arrival; that pretty much set the tone for how the rest of the trip went. 

    We recommend Luxury Villas of NZ, and would use again!
