About this property

Karu ō te Kiwi

Welcome to Karu ō te Kiwi, a haven nestled amidst the rugged beauty of Puponga, New Zealand. Here, the air smells of adventure, and the horizon stretches endlessly, inviting you to explore...



Why Choose Karu ō te Kiwi?



Soul-Stirring Views: Perched on the edge of Farewell Spit, our retreat offers panoramic vistas that defy description. As dawn paints the sky in hues of coral and gold, you’ll feel the heartbeat of nature.



Eco-Luxe Accommodation: Our 3-bedroom sanctuary seamlessly blends comfort with sustainability. Handcrafted wooden furniture, plush textiles, and earthy tones create an ambiance that whispers, “Relax, you’re home.”



Secret Garden: Wander through our 20 acres of native bush, where ancient trees guard their secrets. Listen to the rustle of leaves, or a Tui serenading the dawn.



Sunrise Serenade: Wake up to a symphony of birdsong. Sip your morning brew on the sea-facing deck, watching the sun tiptoe across the water.



Pet-Friendly Paradise: Furry companions are more than welcome. Let your dog chase butterflies. After all, they deserve a vacation too!



Starry Nights: When darkness blankets the land, our skies come alive. Grab a blanket, lie back, and count constellations. The Milky Way spills across the heavens like spilled stardust.
