Tuki Point
One of a kind. A private, north-facing riverside resort on Horseshoe Bend, Hawke's Bay.
Commanding a spectacular position on the point of Horseshoe Bend, where the Tukituki River carves a sweeping arc through the landscape, Tuki Point is distinguished by its elevated due-north aspect, coveted riverside setting and direct private access to the water.
From the terrace, the pool or the fire room, the view is yours alone, and guests can only describe it as staggering: Te Mata Peak, the legendary "Sleeping Giant", rising above Craggy Range. Sun-drenched from morning to evening, with mature trees weaving through the river flats and the river ever present, it is a view you won't forget.
For an experience that begins before touchdown, access to a private helipad offers effortless arrival at this riverside sanctuary.
The outdoor fire room is a showpiece. This dramatic open-air loggia connects seamlessly with the grounds, and evenings gather around the fire and pizza oven as the valley falls dark. Exquisitely planted grounds and productive potager gardens complement the natural surroundings, along with a pétanque court and outdoor living areas gently woven into the landscape. Wild trout are a short cast away, with direct access to the Tukituki River bringing fly fishing to your doorstep.
The heated infinity pool is the moment that stops you: still water seeming to spill toward the river below, with Te Mata Peak rising beyond. Alongside it, the pool pavilion is a private guest suite, with its own king bed and ensuite, while a secluded hot tub looks out over the river. Below the pool, a golf hitting area plays out to three flags.
A bold and thoughtful architectural statement, the residence is warm, textured and quietly generous, with expansive glazing that embraces its exceptional orientation. Light-filled rooms open to the valley, with substantial living spaces, an inviting club lounge, an open fire, and a kitchen made for private entertaining. Three king bedroom suites, the pool pavilion suite and a bunk room comfortably accommodate up to thirteen guests.
French oak from the Loire Valley, European marble, South American Purpleheart timber, Moroccan organic tiles and English brass hardware bring depth, texture, and soul: understated opulence at every turn.
Each summer, Tuki Point quietly welcomes discerning international travellers, hosted through some of New Zealand's most respected luxury travel partners. The guest experience is long established, with a personal welcome, daily breakfast provisions, housekeeping, a private chef, and tailored experiences from fly fishing to horse riding and hiking.
A new owner may choose to continue this exclusive offering or simply close the gates and keep Tuki Point as a private resort of their own. Offered as a turnkey proposition, it is ready from day one.
A private world of its own, Tuki Point sits within effortless reach of the very best of Hawke's Bay. The region is New Zealand's oldest wine region and one of only twelve Great Wine Capitals of the world, alongside Bordeaux and Napa Valley. Craggy Range and Black Barn are minutes away, and Havelock North village, with its gourmet restaurants and cafés, is an easy 15-minute drive. The golden sands of Waimārama and Ocean Beach are close by, and Cape Kidnappers, ranked among the world's top 100 golf courses, is just half an hour away.
A premium destination, or a gateway to the best of Hawke's Bay, Tuki Point invites you to embrace an exceptional riverside lifestyle in the heart of the Tukituki Valley.
