Te Wharewakaroa is for an old surfing mate and his family. We share a passion for surfing, the waves, the culture, lifestyle, travel, the whole vibe. Healthy adrenaline fuelled and fun. Our mutual respect for the ocean and our unique coastline has forged strong ideas about landscape our place in it and our cultures strong relationship to the ocean. This Raglan whare is a modern interpretation of Te Ao Maori integrating natural materials , arts and craft with modern design principles rooted in whakapapa and kaitiakitanga.
A NZIA Award winner, the judges said:
Modern and timeless, this is a whare that makes being at home a spiritual experience.
"Manaakitanga whenua, Manaakitanga tangata, haere whakamua.”
“If we take care of the land and take care of the people, we will take care of the future”
