Cottage Suites
Indulge in the luxury and comfort of Wharekauhau's cottage suites high above the thunderous surf of Palliser Bay.
The ultimate hideaway villa at the ultimate hideaway destination.
No other accommodation compares to the Owners Cottage at Wharekauhau Country Estate. The villa is a world-class, 4,500 square foot, hideaway that offers, you the guest, the best of both worlds. It offers complete privacy, and independence, as well as access to all of the Wharekauhau amenities.
The Owners Cottage is located a short 10 minute walk, (or 2 minute drive), from the main lodge with stunning views over the dramatic Palliser Bay. Built to make a statement, and yet it sits as an elegant stand-alone property framed by backdrop of the Remutaka Ranges. The 3 bedroom villa is split between two levels, joined by an Oamaru sandstone staircase. The house has been designed to incorporate as much natural light as possible with high ceilings, large windows, and full sliding patio doors.
Lounge & Dining
The cottage has a central, open-plan lounge and dining area. Deep chairs, a flat screen television with integrated house BOSE audio visual system, and an open log-burning fireplace. A large dining table for private family dinner sits between the kitchen and the lounge.
Guest Rooms
All three guest rooms have stunning views across Palliser Bay, and are filled with natural light; however the downstairs master guest room also opens out onto a private paved courtyard. Each room is set with a king sized bed, comfortable chairs for lounging, air conditioning, and an open gas fireplace for added ambience. Each room has a private ensuite bathroom, complete with claw-foot baths and separate showers. The master bathroom also has a secluded outdoor shower.
The Kitchen
The house is set with a fully functional, well-equipped kitchen. Guests can opt to join other guests at the main lodge, or to dine at the house with a personal chef.
*Please note a personal chef comes with an additional charge, and a minimum 48 hour notice period is required.
The Study
The cottage comes complete with a separate study. The study also has an additional sofa bed, which makes an ideal conversion into a 4th bedroom. It is also a prime location ot set up for any requested inhouse massages.
Outdoor Living
The sweeping front patio extends out to a heated infinity pool – think summer poolside barbeques.There is an outdoor gas fireplace with seating and exterior music for those still summer nights. A gazebo sits overlooking the ocean, as well as a private courtyard for the master bedroom.
Coming & Going
For added privacy guests can land a helicopter directly at the cottage, and departures and arrivals can be conducted in a way the no other guests would know you are hidden away at Wharekauhau. The house also has its own remote accessed electronic security gate
