The House
 
The House at Takou River offers luxury accommodation, spectacular sea views and a stunning infinity pool. Eco-luxury at its finest; our beautiful self-catering house sleeps 10-12 guests in comfort, space and style. Set in a private ridge top location and surrounded by landscaped gardens, the 7 bedroom architect designed house has sweeping views taking in our 150 acre organic farm and the un-spoilt Takou River as it winds its way to the sea at Takou Bay. The House is the perfect Bay of Islands luxury holiday home.
