Manawaora Estate

In a prime position along the Bay of Islands' golden mile, this 487 ha coastal estate blends luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Under careful environmental stewardship, Manawaora offers a rare sanctuary where conservation meets contemporary living.

A private six kilometre road winds through lakes, native bush, and wildlife to a stunning 540sqm headland residence designed by Italian architect Misa Poggi. With panoramic sea views, seamless indoor & outdoor living, and a pool overlooking the forest canopy, this retreat captures the essence of the Bay of Islands.

At the water's edge, a bespoke Beach House provides ultimate seclusion, complete with twin pools, while a boatshed, private jetty, and boat ramp make marine adventures effortless. Comprising 14 freehold titles and 2.8km of pristine coastline, Manawaora borders a conservation reserve rich in native birdlife, a true ecological haven.

Easily accessible by road, air, or sea, with its own airstrip and helicopter pads. Manawaora is a rare opportunity to own one of New Zealand's most remarkable coastal properties.
