Wharehaukau at dusk
This remarkable resort is set amidst a 5000 acre working sheep station on New Zealand's dramatic eastern coast near Wellington. Wharekauhau heralds a new era of elegance and graciousness without losing the warmth, conviviality and intimacy of country hospitality. It is here that you can experience the true spirit of New Zealand in remarkable style.
The main lodge is modelled on the lines of an Edwardian country mansion with grand hall, open wood burning fireplaces, mullioned windows and country style kitchen.
