Sleep above the reef.

Open timber doors. Clear water beneath you. The next set rolling through the bay.

At the water’s edge.

Five timber villas stand over the reef in the Bay of Plenty. Each opens onto a private patio facing the waves. Just ten guests share this corner of the islands.

Watch the tide move beneath the boards. Follow the sets across the bay. The boat is there when you want it.

First light on the bay

Coffee on the patio while the first sets pass. Breakfast can come before or after the surf.

The dining table set with juices and fruit

Back around the table

Three meals a day, fresh juices and a shared table between sessions. Tell us about dietary needs before you come.

An afternoon can disappear

A hammock above the water. A mask and fins. Or the boat back out for another surf.

Twenty years out here.

More than twenty years of reading these reefs, crossing these channels and knowing when to look around the next headland.

Our captains and guides know the waves you’ve heard of, and the ones you haven’t. Four boats give us the freedom to follow the day.

Get to know the waves

Along the boardwalk.

Patios, warm timber and water in every direction.

Keep the bay close.

Come with a few friends, bring the family or take all five villas. Ten guests at most, with the water all around.
