Unique, tranquil, expansive and undeniably extraordinary – Ātaahua Estate is a slice of New Zealand coastal paradise ready and waiting to be explored.
Anchored by the philosophy to dream, build, live and play your best life, what’s on offer here is the opportunity to create a luxury sanctuary and idyllic escape from the pace and stress of city life.
The location is spectacular, embracing the Ōmokoroa Golf Club and savouring unobstructed views straight out to the ocean beyond.
Over the past decade, Ātaahua Estate has been developed by owners Frances and Andrew Holliday. They built one of New Zealand’s most exceptional coastal estates here and a place where their active family of seven can enjoy, explore and perfect their active pursuits.

With vision and an astute view to the future, they also purchased the neighbouring properties and developed The Clubhouse Residences, a limited edition collection of five additional expansive, flat, north-facing, well-established lifestyle sections amidst the premier golf course fronting row.
Of these, Lot 4 is an exquisite 5450sqm site currently occupied by an existing 322sqm home with unobstructed views over the green spaces of the golf course to the sea.
The cedar weatherboard house incorporates four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas and one study, as well as six-car garaging and an inground pool. It could either be reimagined with a grand renovation or replaced entirely with a magnificent new residence that maximises the immense proportions and position.
Of the remaining four sections, approximate lot sizes and building platforms range from 1732sqm to 2529sqm, with building platforms for each Clubhouse Residence of 932sqm and 1502sqm. The subdivision is complete and ready to go, with all services to each site and titles available.
The space on offer is what dreams are made of and the sites boast potential limited only to the imagination – your own padel court, basketball court or tennis court, as well as swimming, golfing and boating to your heart’s content.
With a view to securing a family compound, safe haven and bolthole in one of the world’s most pristine and protected environments, the approximately 3ha estate could also be purchased in its entirety.

This is now a possibility for international buyers, thanks to changes to the Overseas Investment Act, which gives holders of the Active Investor Plus (AIP) residency visa, popularly known as the golden visa, the right to buy or build one New Zealand residential property worth $5m and more.
As Andrew points out, “for the price of a luxury house in Sydney or an apartment in Hong Kong or New York, you can live your dream life here amidst unparalleled privacy, serenity and security, elements you could not simply buy somewhere else”.
“Someone could buy the whole estate and create a luxury family compound enjoying extraordinary privacy.”
Andrew also says this is the best offering in the Bay and one that offers pertinent peace of mind. “We’re elevated, we’re on the golf course and we’ve got the views but we’re on well established land with no risk of flooding or slips.”
The space and privacy are paramount here.
“I lived in Auckland and offshore for 25 years and we simply couldn’t return to Auckland and pay $20 million for a property where we can reach out and touch our neighbours. We have enjoyed the luxury of landing helicopters on the front lawn but at the same time you can get anywhere in the North Island very quickly.”

Ōmokoroa Beach Peninsula offers one of the Bay of Plenty’s most picturesque and sought after lifestyle beach settlements and is an established, vibrant and dynamic coastal community.
The beaches are flat, safe and sandy and are a sheltered base to launch your desired water sports, as well as offer direct coastal access to Tauranga Harbour, Matakana Island and the nearby Coromandel Peninsula.
Ōmokoroa Beach is also within close proximity to Tauranga, Mount Maunganui and Waihi Beach regional shopping, hospitality and social hubs, as well as excellent schools, Tauranga Airport and Tauranga’s public and private hospitals.
Andrew says that although Ātaahua Estate savours incredible privacy, it’s accessible. “Town is close, you can walk to the shops, walk to the village.”
Enjoy the Residence(s) as a luxury compound with generations of family or friends, or explore the revenue options of continuing to operate the estate as a luxury lodge and villa business.
After an intense last five years, which included selling their NZX-listed business and Andrew having spinal surgery and fusion for a broken back and four other surgeries, the couple has decided to simplify their lives and rationalise the property and move on to a new project and phase of their lives.
