Blackwood is a private luxury hideaway in Te Horo on the Kāpiti Coast, designed for slow living and complete seclusion.  Just minutes from wild west coast beaches and the gateway to Kāpiti Island, it’s also the perfect base for exploring the region. Discover some of our favourite things to do on the Kāpiti Coast.

Inspired by Japandi style where Japanese simplicity meets Scandinavian warmth. The retreat blends clean lines, natural textures, and soft, muted tones with expansive rural views.

Step into stillness. Light the fire. Pour a glass of wine.

Outside, the cedar hot tub overlooks rolling farmland and distant hills. The Summer House fireplace glows on cooler evenings, while long summer nights invite you to linger around the fire pit beneath wide country skies.

Inside, you’ll find thoughtful design and understated luxury throughout — open-plan living, high-end furnishings, a beautifully appointed bathroom, and a calm, uncluttered space to truly switch off.

Just one place to stay. Entirely yours.
