Our Master Suite with Private Ensuite
Heron / Kōtuku is our largest room which contains its own private ensuite. It features a Super King bed that can be split into two king singles upon request. Your personal sliding glass door opens directly onto the front deck, with steps leading down to the back garden. Two north- and west-facing windows offer lovely views of the gardens and Labyrinth (also the solar panels, to be fair…). All in all, our finest room.

About Kōtuku
The white heron or kōtuku is well-loved by the people of Aotearoa, but rarely seen except by those who specifically seek it out. Its sole New Zealand breeding site (near Okarito Lagoon in Westland) is well-known and well-protected, but elsewhere it is ‘He kotuku rerenga tahi’ or the bird of single flight, implying something seen perhaps once in a lifetime. When seen in close proximity it is a magnificent bird, with its large size and clean white plumage. Sadly, we rarely see one in Golden Bay / Mohua. However, we like to think its spirit resides here in the Kōtuku Room.
