Oruawharo Cottage

Oruawharo Cottage is a luxury accommodation in Tryphena, New Zealand.

It is located on a stunning 16-acre property on Great Barrier Island, just 50 meters from a secluded swimming beach in Oruawharo Bay. The cottage, designed by world-renowned architects Fearon Hay, is a timber-clad pavilion-like building with extensive glazing that offers breathtaking views of the sea and the rugged landform of the island. It has two super king-sized beds and is a separate two-bedroom cottage adjacent to the Oruawharo Beach House, with landscaped grounds surrounding both properties.

The cottage provides all the amenities needed for a perfect getaway. Guests can enjoy a complimentary transfer service between the footbridge and the cottage during check-in and check-out. The cottage features a private patio and a fully equipped kitchen. The Oruawharo Beach House, an L-shaped structure, offers four guest bedrooms with stunning ocean views. It also has a central courtyard entertainment area that provides shelter from the wind while still offering breathtaking views. Additionally, there is a separate guest suite set into the hillside, providing a private retreat away from the main living area.

For those seeking a more rustic experience, there is a cabin nestled in a wide valley only 40 meters away from the beach at Oruawharo Bay. The cabin has two bedrooms, with one doubling as a living area, a small kitchen, and a hot water shower. Instead, electricity is generally provided by solar power, and water is supplied from a rainwater tank.
