Where raw coastal beauty meets architectural brilliance

Tucked away on the untamed cliffs of Muriwai, just 35 minutes from Auckland’s CBD, The House at Parihoa is a sanctuary for those seeking total immersion in New Zealand’s west coast wilderness — without compromising on comfort or privacy.

Designed by acclaimed architect Andrew Patterson, this 600sqm residence is a masterstroke of understated elegance. Its clean lines, natural materials, and expansive glass walls were crafted to echo the contours of the landscape, blurring the lines between indoors and out. Whether you’re gathered with friends by the fire or watching the surf roll in from the poolside deck, the house invites you to slow down and soak in the surroundings.

Set on 25.7 acres within the larger 700-acre Parihoa Estate, the house is accessed via two private gates, ensuring total seclusion.

Inside, the space is designed for connection as much as relaxation. The living areas are expansive yet welcoming, with floor-to-ceiling retractable doors that open to generous decks, offering sweeping views across the clifftop and farmland beyond. The dining wing is a statement in itself — the ideal spot for long, lingering meals crafted by a private chef in the fully equipped kitchen and butler’s pantry.

Four spacious, ocean-facing bedrooms include two with ensuites and a Jack & Jill shared bathroom, offering flexible and thoughtful accommodation for families or groups. Six bathrooms in total ensure there’s never a queue, while underfloor heating and a central Stiebel Eltron radiator system keep things cosy year-round. For added ambience, three gas fireplaces create inviting spaces to gather and share stories.

Step outside, and you’ll find a central courtyard designed for year-round enjoyment. Sheltered from the elements, the space includes a heated pool, spa, outdoor fireplace, and ample lounging space. It’s a protected haven that allows you to enjoy the best of coastal living, whatever the weather.

With a four-car garage, private driveway, and thoughtful touches throughout, The House at Parihoa isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to be. A place to retreat, reflect, and recharge in one of New Zealand’s most striking natural settings.

Whether you’re here to escape the everyday, inspire your next big idea, or celebrate something special, The House at Parihoa delivers a stay that feels grounded, private, and effortlessly luxurious.
