Tucked into the native bush at the far eastern end of Waiheke Island, Cowles Bay was designed as a true retreat — a place for the family to escape the rush of Auckland life and reconnect with nature. Built high on the section, the home sits amongst the treetops, with the surrounding bush wrapping around every aspect. Beautiful water views stretch out towards Man O’ War, while above the house an elevated deck plays host to a large spa pool and seating area — the perfect spot to unwind with a glass of wine on a quiet afternoon. This is island living at its most restorative.
