About this property
Bluewater Sanctuary -Matapouri & Tutukaka Breathtaking Coastal Views
The perfect place for your family to create memories together on the Tutukaka Coast. The accent is on space and luxury.
Laze, read, sunbathe, or practice yoga on the large wooden decks. Have a fire in the tree of life brazier or stargaze as you soak in the cedar hot tub. Chill or gather with friends and family in the spacious lounges and take in the spectacular ocean views or enjoy the sunset over the western hills with a platter and a drink, then retire to your wonderfully comfortable beds.
It feels remote here, yet we are handy to everything. Venture outside our gate, and you’re only minutes from Tukutaka, Matapouri and Whale Bay, and several restaurants and cafés. This area is renowned for its nature reserves and outdoor recreation. Consider making us your base for your family gathering.
Your adventure begins with a scenic 1.2km drive up the hill, winding through lush pockets of subtropical forest and open grazing paddocks. As you ascend, the landscape unfolds into breathtaking panoramic views of fertile farmland, stretching all the way to the sparkling ocean and the iconic Poor Knights Islands in the distance.
The first thing you’ll notice is the quiet - the silence broken only by the calls of the many birds in our forest that is protected by a Queen Elizabeth II covenant. Keep your eyes open for tui, kererū, kōtare, pīwakawaka, and kiwi and ruru. Watch for the harrier hawks that glide on the airstreams along the ridges.
Suitable for up to 10 guests
Bluewater Sanctuary has tank water that is filtered, and UV treated.

About the host
Hosted by Julianne O’Brien
Richard and I fell in love with Bluewater Heights in June this year and decided to make the move to the Tutukaka Coast. We live here with our Springer Spaniel Angie
We run Yoga and health retreats on a monthly basis.
Our local beach Matapouri is beautiful and we love being able to share all this with others.

Why they chose this property
Bluewater Heights has 9 properties off the road. Each property has a portion of QE2 Trust land and we all work on preserving the local native bush and wildlife. We work with QE2 Trust with pest & weed control. We can hear the Kiwis on our property at night and that has won our hearts over on the importance of conservation for future generations. The night sky is amazing for star gazing. You can't beat waking up to the view of the Poor Knights and the peace and quiet.
What makes this property unique
Being the only person on the beach at Matapouri. Sitting in the Cedar Hot Tub at night listening to the Morepork and Kiwis.
Star gazing with no light pollution
So many beautiful beachs within 15kms of our house.
Stunning walks and giant Kauri.
An hour down the road and you are in the Bay Of Islands.
Visiting the Poor Knights one of the top Marine Reserves in the World.
