The Property
A Little Paradise
Balinese-influenced architecture meets the natural beauty of the Awhitu Peninsula.
Completely private. Utterly secluded. Slip into your own hot tub, breathe in the coastal air, and let the world fall away. This is what true relaxation feels like.
Balinese-influenced architecture, lush coastal surrounds, and every comfort you need for a truly restorative stay.
Fresh water for every stay. Soak under the stars with views across the Manukau Harbour, the Auckland Sky Tower visible 23 km away.
Gather around the outdoor fireplace in the evenings. Three cooking areas (kitchen, BBQ, and fire) for the ultimate outdoor entertaining.
Every corner of Awhitu Zen reflects Bali's rich cultural heritage. Exquisite carvings, traditional art, and a garden oasis that soothes the soul.
A pedestrian right of way takes you directly to a private beach on the Manukau Harbour. No crowds, just space and serenity.
Lush palms, a double hammock, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. The perfect setting to re-connect, relax, and recharge.
Every stay is personally hosted by Barbara and Stanley, seasoned Superhosts with a genuine passion for creating world-class experiences for guests.

Guests travel from around the world to experience Awhitu Zen, and they always want to come back.
"With Awhitu Zen you have truly created a little paradise. The villa, the garden, the whole setting... simply idyllic. We were able to relax completely here, calm down, and forget about the world for a few days. Thank you for letting us stay here."
"Thank you for a kind, friendly welcome at the start of our spectacular stay. You both are true masters of hospitality. All the attention to detail and personal touches made this a world-class stay."
"We cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful stay! The location is beautiful, the place is spectacular, and the amenities are out of this world. Literally, if you include the night sky from the spa!"
Awhitu Zen sits on the Awhitu Peninsula, on the western shore of the Manukau Harbour. On a clear day you can see the Sky Tower directly across the water, 23 km as the crow flies.
The MΔori word for Awhitu means "A Longing to Return", and every guest understands why.
