Sleep amongst the sand dunes listening to the sound of the sea.
Located 45 mins north of Wellington, nestled in sand dunes overlooking Peka Peka Beach lies Atahuri. Its secluded beachside location offers guests a unique place in which to stay.
Atahuri was designed by renowned architect Ron Stevenson, whose brief was to build a luxury lodge that blended in with its environment. Opened in 2012, Atahuri is owned and operated by New Zealander Robyn Renouf – local artist, wine & food enthusiast, a passionate cook and world traveller. Robyn’s artwork features throughout the property.
Atahuri offers four luxury suites each and is the perfect base for discerning travellers looking for privacy and tranquillity in a spectacular beach setting. Each suite has its own private entrance with patio facing seaward. A short stroll from your suite takes you on to Peka Peka Beach which is an unspoilt safe swimming beach that stretches for miles.
Comfy sofas, bay windows and stunning views, await weary travellers looking to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine. Luxurious furnishings and a touch of beachside chic feature throughout.
Outside, a sheltered courtyard with views of the Tararua’s has a large open fire and BBQ area. From there a path leads you past the guava hedge and passionfruit vines to the curved shaped swimming pool and spa that capture the last of the evening sun! Breath-taking views of the Tasman Sea and Kapiti Island can be seen from the rooftop deck – a great spot to watch the sun go down.
The New Zealand theme continues with breakfasts cooked by your kiwi host, focusing on fresh New Zealand fruit and vegetables grown on the property, accompanied by gourmet offerings from the Kapiti Coast.
Each suite has a private entrance with a patio facing seaward. New Zealand art work. Feather duvets, fine linen and heavenly bath for two, create the perfect sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation after a day exploring the Kapiti Coast and neighbouring regions.
Suites include:
HARAKEKE is the most private suite and looks out towards the Tasman Sea and Kapiti Island. A private edible garden courtyard tucked away in the dunes that catches the suns first rays and provides that much needed shade later in the day is another added feature of this suite.
OIOI this suite looks out towards the Tasman Sea and Kapiti Island. Guests can choose to sit in the private outdoor patio or garden courtyard, depending on time of the day.
KAKAHO this suite is immersed in the dunes. Nothing could be more soothing than being lulled asleep by the sound of the sea.
SPINIFEX this twin suite is immersed in the dunes and offers two super king single beds. Nothing can be more soothing than being lulled asleep by the sound of the sea. It is the closest suite to the main Lodge.
