There are few places in the world where you get the sense of land emerging from the ocean — where you can trace the contours of the land down below the waterline, where sky, land and sea are continuous — and New Zealand’s Paroa Bay Winery and Estate is one of these places. Featuring three superb villas, a boutique vineyard, and our restaurant Sage — we ensure every aspect of luxury is plentifully provided for.
The first of our luxury villas, Tarāpunga, is named after the local seabirds, and nests high above the bay. With floor to ceiling windows and an infinity pool on an expansive outdoor entertaining area, Tarāpunga truly brings the incredible scenery to the fore. Our second villa, Weka, is a smaller but beautifully designed residence, and available for reservation concurrently with Tarāpunga. Our third villa, Vineyard Cottage, sits amongst the vines of our famed winery and enjoys views of the beautiful rolling green hills of both vineyard and native bush. Featuring every modern convenience, the quaintness of this villa is matched only by the luxury therein.
All aspects of our property have been carefully curated to complement our natural domain — in the same way the land traces below the waterline, the Paroa Bay experience is continuous. At our restaurant Sage, we take inspiration from traditional mediterranean cuisine, the fruits of our ocean, and archetypal New Zealand ingredients — resulting in a truly unique and creative dining experience.
Similarly, every aspect of our Paroa Bay wines are grown, pruned, and made onsite, by hand, at our boutique vineyard. Our viticultural ethos is to remain in line with the earth, to exist sustainably — and allow the land itself to give our wines their distinct character and nuance.
As the land traces below the high water mark it also traces up — and it is our goal with our Paroa Bay Winery and Estate to be part of the continuity of nature. By doing so, we provide our guests with an experience of complete relaxation and luxury in this unique and awe-inspiring setting.
