A Peaceful Architectural Sanctuary with Spa Pool

This home will appeal to travelers seeking calm, space, and a sense of restoration, particularly couples, families, or small groups who value unhurried time together. It suits guests drawn to wellness and reset-oriented stays, where days unfold between garden time, coastal walks, and evenings spent unwinding at home. The setting is ideal for those who enjoy gentle exploration balanced with comfort, privacy, and a relaxed pace, making it a natural fit for travelers who prioritize atmosphere, connection, and ease over busy itineraries.

Set within a park-like landscape in Te Horo, this modern architectural retreat presents a refined approach to coastal country living on New Zealand’s Kapiti Coast. Framed by expansive gardens and mature trees, the home enjoys a setting defined by openness, privacy, and a strong connection to its natural surroundings, while remaining well positioned for access to nearby beaches, river landscapes, and local villages. The atmosphere is calm and restorative, shaped by both the design of the home and the scale of the grounds.

The residence is contemporary in form and thoughtfully planned, with clean lines and abundant natural light throughout. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged to support both shared living and personal retreat, comfortably accommodating families or small groups. Living spaces are welcoming and well proportioned, with a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the interior and reinforcing a sense of warmth and seasonal comfort throughout the year.

At the center of the home, a well-equipped kitchen and separate scullery are designed to support generous, communal use. Dual ovens, ample preparation space, and a large dining table make the space well suited to both everyday meals and longer gatherings, encouraging time spent together without formality. The overall aesthetic remains modern and practical, with an emphasis on comfort, functionality, and ease of use.

Outdoor spaces are a defining element of the experience. The surrounding gardens invite time spent outdoors throughout the day, while the private spa pool adds a restorative dimension to afternoons and evenings at home. From this setting, days naturally extend to nearby beaches, the Otaki River and Gorge, and a network of established walking and cycling routes that shape the Kapiti Coast lifestyle. Balanced between architectural clarity and a generous natural setting, this Te Horo retreat offers a well-composed base for exploring the coast, enjoying the landscape, and settling into a relaxed and grounded rhythm.
