Some places refuse to be rushed. Aotea stands at the outer edge of the Hauraki Gulf, quiet and unhurried, while the rest of the world accelerates past it. Great Barrier Island did not miss the modern age. It chose differently. A single petrol pump by the road. A grocery store where your name is known before you reach the counter. Boats rocking gently in the harbour at dusk, waiting for no particular deadline. This is where Sunset Waterfront Lodge was born. Positioned on a west-facing shoreline in Tryphena, where the sand begins just across the road and the evening sky moves through colours no city could ever name. The owners have renovated the four-bedroom residence, creating a warm and generous main home set front row to the water’s edge. A fireplace at its heart, the ocean at its feet. Behind it, four studios and five A-frame villas host those fortunate enough to arrive. The lodge operates with quiet independence. Self-powered. Water filtered from the land. Food grown on site. A fully equipped catering kitchen designed for scale. Infrastructure that supports both simplicity and volume with laundry facilities generating strong operational income, a large ice machine for retail supply, a bait freezer servicing fishing guests, and a dedicated equipment space for kayaks, bikes, and fishing gear supporting guest experiences, guided tours, and broader commercial use. A helipad provides direct access when time matters. Adjoining the helipad at the rear of the property, a separate freehold title of 1,708m2 of flat, contiguous land sits ready. Bare and open, with a basic storage outbuilding, it represents a genuine opportunity to expand what already exists here. Whether that means additional accommodation, new facilities, or something yet to be imagined, the canvas is clear. Continue as it stands, an authentic, income-producing island escape with established systems and a loyal returning base. Or elevate it into something greater such as an eco-luxury destination with international appeal. A refined accommodation offering that preserves the character and rhythm of the island while lifting nightly rates and guest expectations. A wedding and event venue framed by uninterrupted Pacific sunsets. A hub for tour groups arriving via SeaLink ferry or light aircraft, ready to be hosted with precision and intent. The infrastructure is here. The relationships are here. The foundation is already in motion. What remains is vision. At this level, hospitality is not a service. It is a feeling. And here, that feeling is unmistakable. The current owners are returning to the mainland to begin their next chapter, leaving behind a fully operational and income-generating business, a rare way of life, and a platform with significant unrealised potential.

Set discreetly back from one of Remuera’s most distinguished streets, this remarkable residence presents a seamless blend of traditional character and modern expression. The brilliance of its architectural intent, the quality of its material and the precision of its detailing extend far beyond first impression. Originally conceived by Arts & Crafts architect Gerald Jones and later entirely reimagined as the personal residence of acclaimed architect Noel Lane, the property represents a considered reinvention rather than a renovation– traditional form retained and spatial experience transformed. Across three interconnected levels, light and volume become architectural elements in themselves. A central vertical opening links the upper floors to the lower atrium, creating a constant sense of scale and flow, while two staircases positioned at opposing ends of the home allow movement to feel effortless. The main level is thoughtfully designed for both daily living and gatherings. A north-facing walnut and travertine kitchen fitted with Gaggenau and Miele appliances forms the centre of the home, complemented by a light-filled dining area. Open casual living areas face both the front and rear, while a wood-panelled formal lounge provides a more intimate retreat. On the ground level, a dramatic atrium anchors the home’s social life. Opening to an enclosed side courtyard and extending outward to a substantial rear sculptural courtyard, the space is equally suited to intimate celebrations or larger-scale occasions. The courtyard connects onwards to a generous lawn, while a concealed garage door allows the space to expand– a thoughtful design that enhances both flexibility and flow. The upper level is dedicated to accommodation, featuring four bedrooms including a primary suite with an adjoining nursery or study. These rooms flow naturally to the rooftop terrace, where elevated views to Rangitoto and Orakei Basin provide a serene backdrop for evening drinks or quiet retreat. The recently renewed surrounding grounds by Tony Murrell form a natural extension of the architecture and are crafted with the same uncompromising philosophy as the home itself. From the moment you enter the garden, walking across hammered basalt and warm-toned travertine, the integrity of the material selection is immediately apparent– not confined to just focal spaces, but carried throughout. The landscaping is executed with permanence in mind and designed to last a lifetime– a level of thoroughness rarely achieved. Earth, Sea and Sky elements are subtly expressed across the expansive site through carefully curated aggregates and sculptural planting of exceptional calibre. The Japanese-style zen garden frames the pool, while pathways weave through bamboo, bonsai, camellias and evergreen azaleas, all of which remain engaging throughout the seasons. Both intimate and expansive, the grounds allow for contemplation and entertaining, with dynamic lighting carrying the atmosphere into the evening. Positioned within the Double Grammar Zone, directly across from Victoria Avenue shops and moments from Remuera Village, the property offers both prestige and practicality. A timeless architectural masterpiece that is reimagined with purpose and executed without compromise. Important: This property may be marketed as suitable for overseas purchasers.

Elevated on the ridgeline, it commands uninterrupted 180-degree panoramic views stretching from Rangitoto Island across the Waitematā Harbour to the Sky Tower skyline, forming a truly irreplaceable natural and urban outlook. The interior is defined by scale, light, and material integrity. An approximately eight-metre gallery atrium anchors the spatial composition, while the main living level features 3.5-metre stud heights flowing seamlessly to a 37-metre north-facing balcony, creating a cohesive indoor-outdoor living experience. A curated palette of travertine, French oak, and bespoke timber joinery establishes a restrained yet sophisticated material language, designed for enduring aesthetic appeal and comfort. The residence comprises five bedrooms and six bathrooms, including multiple ensuites, with all bedrooms oriented north to maximise natural light and views. The master suite enjoys expansive outlooks, a private balcony, and a walk-in wardrobe. A separate guest residence with full living amenities provides flexibility for extended family living or hosting. The lower-level entertainment zone opens directly to landscaped gardens, featuring an approximately 12m × 5m heated swimming pool and level lawn, ideal for both family use and social occasions. Additional features include a dedicated home theatre, library, and office, complemented by bespoke cabinetry throughout. C-Bus smart home integration, comprehensive security, central heating, and multiple fireplaces complete a residence of exceptional livability and technical specification. Located within Auckland’s premier education precinct, the property sits adjacent to King's Preparatory School and within the sought-after double grammar zones of Auckland Grammar School and Epsom Girls Grammar School, with leading private schools nearby. This is more than a residence—it is a strategic acquisition of scarce land in one of Auckland’s most tightly held locations. Securing a north-facing ridgeline site of this scale in Remuera represents long-term control over an irreplaceable asset, combining lifestyle excellence with capital security and future potential.

Celebrating a grandstand position on Paritai Drive, arguably Auckland’s finest street, this 941sqm estate showcases 360-degree harbour views that must be experienced to be believed. With only two owners since it was crafted in 1932, the residence is now a striking juxtaposition of old and new - a unique blend of classic character and contemporary architecture. Besides the small cottage at number 58, this home was the very first house to be built in the newly subdivided Paritai Drive. Sailing afficionados will also recognise the original owner, celebrated yacht designer Bob Stewart. In fact, the iconic Stewart 34 and many other well-known Auckland yachts were designed in the top-level study, overlooking the harbour. The front of the home remains true to the original 1930s heritage. It’s rich with period detailing and has been elegantly modernised over time. Spectacular harbour views are on full display in the ground floor formal living and dining rooms, which flow out to sun-soaked terraces and the recently refurbished swimming pool and spa complex. The entertainer’s kitchen has been refurbished and features Gaggenau appliances and generous storage and workspaces. As well as the sweeping staircase, a lift also accesses the upper-level accommodation. Three bedrooms and the study up here savour panoramic views of the Auckland ports, busy harbour, Rangitoto and the North Shore. Steel joinery withstands the coastal conditions, and the rooms are serviced by the marble family bathroom. A two-level glass walkway connects the original to the new marble extension at the rear, which sits above the double garage. Designed by Ken Crosson Architects, it was created as a boardroom but could be utilised as a home office, guest accommodation or teenage retreat. Sleek, streamlined design incorporates a concealed built in tv, wall mounted bed, bathroom and kitchen. Walls of glass around the perimeter are protected by bespoke motorised screens, which tilt to accommodate light and sun. A spiral internal staircase arrives up to the top floor rooftop terrace, which enjoys 360-degree views. A deceased estate, it is an incredibly rare chance to acquire one of Paritai Drive’s last major opportunities.
