Hidden gem - best of two worlds.

An historic cottage in a sheltered dell in the country near Makara Beach, fully restored Te whare iti is 10-15 minutes walk from the rugged Makara coast and roughly 35 minutes from the Wellington CBD. The preserved exterior enfolds very clean, warm and comfortable modern amenities. Importantly- you must provide your own transport as there is no public transport to Makara from Karori the nearest suburb, some 9.5 kms away. Makara is true NZ countryside with a windy, narrow road to match!.

Parangarehu - Ahi Kā

We’ve named the first pourewa ‘Ahi Kā’ (people of the land keeping the fires burning) because the deeper purpose of Parangarehu lies in reconnecting the next generation with their whenua (land) by working on it through either conservation, tourism, and hospitality so, it’s not just a business it's a legacy project for our whānau.” Parangarehu is a special place, and we’ve always felt deeply connected to its mōuri (lifeforce). We’re excited for others to experience it too.”
