Tucked away on the Wharekauhau Country Estate, Foley Villa offers the perfect balance of privacy and access. This 418 square metre (4,500 square foot) hideaway sits just a short stroll or quick drive from the main lodge, with breathtaking views of Palliser Bay and the Remutaka Ranges. Designed by Kurio Design, the villa’s Hamptons-inspired interiors are bright, airy, and filled with natural light. Large windows, high ceilings, and sliding patio doors bring the outside in, creating a serene, sophisticated space where you can truly unwind.

Secluded Luxury with Bay Views

Foley Villa’s three luxurious guest suites each offer spectacular bay views, with king-sized beds, cosy seating, and private ensuite bathrooms featuring claw-foot tubs and separate showers. The downstairs master suite includes its own private courtyard and secluded outdoor shower. Enjoy an open-plan lounge, a crackling log fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen perfect for private dining, and an expansive patio with a heated infinity pool, outdoor fireplace, and the option to arrive by helicopter—secluded, special, and entirely yours.

Lounging & Dining

Sink into soft armchairs, fire glowing, music playing—your private retreat awaits. The villa’s heart is a warm, open-plan space where a log-burning fireplace and deep-seated comfort invite long, leisurely evenings. Gather around the generous dining table or let a private chef craft a bespoke feast in the fully equipped kitchen. Whether it’s morning coffee or a twilight dinner, this is where your stories begin—without ever leaving your villa.

Step outside to a heated infinity pool that mirrors the endless sky. Long summer evenings call for poolside barbeques, warm light, and music under the stars beside the outdoor fireplace.
