LIFESTYLE
Wake up to birdsong and fall asleep to ocean swells. At Wai Kōwhai, every day offers incredible choices, whether it’s on land or sea. With lots up to 26 hectares, you have the freedom to build whatever your lifestyle demands.
LEGENDARY AMONG ANGLERS
On the water
The waters off Purerua Peninsula are legendary among anglers. This is big game territory: marlin, tuna, and kingfish cruise the deeper waters, while closer to shore, you’ll find plenty of smaller catches like snapper or kahawai. The pristine water and prolific marine life make it prime territory for diving and spearfishing.
The Bay of Islands’ 144 islands create a sailing and boating paradise. Hundreds of secluded beaches are accessible only by boat, offering excellent snorkelling, diving, and fishing. The region’s yacht clubs and game fishing clubs provide prime facilities for enthusiasts, while the network of marinas and boat ramps nearby gives easy access to open water.
LANDSCAPE YOUR DREAM BACKYARD
Life on the land
Large lots mean you can landscape your dream backyard, run horses, plant that orchard you’ve always wanted, or simply enjoy having space between you and your neighbours. If you want to run livestock, there are two communal cattle yards on the station as well as the ability to work with the station manager to graze land.
Everyone within the gated community has access to the beach via a walking track leading through the pōhutukawa and down to the water. Your own path to secluded beaches and crystal clear waters gives you the kind of coastal access most people can only dream of.
The Bay of Islands lifestyle
Here in the Bay of Islands, outdoor living is serious business. World-class diving at the Cavalli Islands and Rainbow Warrior wreck, ancient kauri forests, waterfalls like nearby Rainbow Falls, plus sports facilities throughout the district.
Whether building a weekend retreat or making the permanent move from city life, Wai Kōwhai puts you at the centre of New Zealand’s most inspiring outdoor lifestyle region.
Kerikeri connection
Kerikeri is just 25 minutes from Wai Kōwhai and offers shops, services and a charming cultural hub for the region. Home to the country’s oldest building, Kemp House (1822), and the iconic Stone Store (1836), the town strikes a balance between history and a vibrant arts and dining scene. Shops, schools, healthcare, and a regional airport with several daily flights to Auckland provide the essentials.
On weekends, the Old Packhouse Market draws crowds for fresh, local produce, artisan goods, and a lively community atmosphere. Kerikeri’s café and restaurant scene thrives year-round, while the many vineyards and wineries dotted nearby have established the region’s reputation for quality wine (and wine tasting). Kerikeri has long been a popular base for visitors exploring nearby attractions like the ancient kauri forests, the Twin Coast Cycle Trail, or the exceptional water activities.
