Sunrise over Te Arai Point 🌅

There is truly nothing like watching the first light spill over the Pacific from Te Arai Point. If you haven’t explored the coast lately, you are missing out!

The newly developed walking trails winding through the Te Arai Beach Reserve are absolutely world-class. You can now hike the stunning coastal stretch all the way from Te Arai Beach to Forestry Beach, treated to unmatched, panoramic views stretching endlessly north and south along the coastline.

The best part? This incredible wilderness escape is sitting right on our doorstep—just minutes away from Te Arai Lodge.

Pack your sneakers and togs for a swim after, set that early alarm, and go check out these pristine new paths for yourself. You won’t regret it!

True luxury is in the details. In our Kōtare Cottage ensuite, that means handmade ceramics, premium natural eco-toiletries, and a light, nautical & beach aesthetic that brings the beauty of Te Arai indoors. 🐚

The space is anchored by gorgeous “his and her” vanities with striking circular mirrors that bounce the coastal light beautifully. Step just outside the frame, and you’ll find our indoor and outdoor baths designed for ultimate relaxation. 🛁

Your sanctuary is waiting. 🥂

There’s something special about surfing in New Zealand 🌊🇳🇿 — raw coastlines, uncrowded waves, and a deep connection to nature that makes every session unforgettable.

At Te Arai Lodge, surfing is one of the experiences we love sharing most with our guests 🤍 From beach breaks, to long breaking points and empty lineups, Te Arai has quietly become one of New Zealand’s most incredible surf destinations 🏄‍♂️🌅 This beautiful Sirpa artwork perfectly captures that feeling of heading out with anticipation for what’s beyond.

We’ve also spent the last two weeks down in Raglan watching the WSL event, and it’s been incredible to witness the world’s best surfers competing here in New Zealand 🙌🔥 The level of talent, atmosphere, and energy has been so entertaining and inspiring to watch — and a reminder of just how special our surf culture and coastline really are 🌊✨

Already counting down to next year’s event and our next swell in Te Arai 🤙🏽🏄‍♀️
