Moturua is a privately owned Island located in Northland's Bay of Islands. This maritime playground features hundreds of islands, bays and inlets where turquoise waters merge with golden-sand beaches and lush green forests.

This stunning beach side house, designed by New Zealand architect Pete Bossley, has been carefully sited on idyllic Moturua Island. Set amongst a rich native canopy, the house is as memorable as the breathtaking views. The main home features four beautifully appointed bedrooms, all enjoying a private terrace and soothing ocean views. The focal point of the main house is the split level living area. The kitchen and living room effortlessly flow to surrounding outdoor patios adjoining a vast lawn. In addition, two separate houses each containing a double room and bunk room, bring the island guest capacity to a very comfortable 16. Additional bedrooms are housed in the helicopter hangar and are suitable for nannies, chefs or support staff. This island is a family paradise.

Guests on the island can enjoy a wide variety of land and ocean based activities. The 'Boat Shed' houses a collection of beautifully maintained equipment including jet skis, fishing gear, sea kayaks and up to the minute dive gear. The island manager is qualified to operate all of the toys available including the recreational boat moored at the island's private wharf. Alternative activities include walking, heli golf at the renowned Kauri Cliffs Lodge, island cruising, deep sea fishing or visiting the historic Maori Treaty Grounds of nearby Waitangi. The choices are endless. Access to this secluded paradise is restricted to boat or helicopter. You can choose to keep the helicopter and pilot on site with you throughout your stay for total freedom. Alternatively we can arrange excursions from the island upon your request.

There are few places on earth that allow you and your family to enjoy total seclusion yet the ability to enjoy a world of wonderful activities from your front door. This is truly a special place to be enjoyed by a lucky few.
