Superbly situated just a 10-minute helicopter ride from Wellington, Wharekauhau Country Estate is the ideal place to experience a secluded luxury holiday in New Zealand. With enviable rooms and sumptuous cottage suites, gourmet restaurants, a superb gym and an opulent spa, you will experience all the comfort and peace you could ever wish for in a holiday.
Your own private retreat

Skilled chefs with versatile menus
The working farm located at this resort means culinary delights await your presence fresh from the land. From fruit and vegetable to seaweed from the shores, everything is home-grown. The sole restaurant of Wharekauhau is superbly staffed with excellent chefs who deliver a versatile choice of dishes, from red snapper and local crayfish to New Zealand’s famous beef and lamb. Enjoy a rustic-style breakfast in the estate’s country kitchen aperitifs before dinner in the Wharekauhau’s lounge. The area is renowned for its wine and there is much on offer to entice.
