The Glasshouse is a private and separate retreat located approximately 100 meters from the main residence where the The View suites are located. Nestled in a macadamia orchard with breathtaking rural and coastal views, the Glasshouse is a sanctuary designed for the curious and crafted to soothe the soul. This exclusive, guest-only retreat offers peace and privacy, inviting discovery at every turn with thoughtfully curated amenities and experiences that surprise and delight.

The details

The Glasshouse is a thoughtfully transformed 1960s relocatable home, blending its original rimu flooring with a modern vision of comfort and serenity. Set high on a hill, it boasts generous decks and a timeless wrought iron outdoor bath, inviting guests to pause and reconnect.

Rooted in sustainability, the retreat operates entirely off-grid, powered by solar energy, rainwater, and an innovative worm-based waste treatment system—offering an experience that is both luxurious and environmentally conscious.
