Highlights
Sleep
Just a handful cottages and lodges are dotted in the vines of Giants Estate and along the riverfront. The four Vineyard Cottages feature one or two bedrooms, an attractive kitchen and living area with a wood-burner for cosy nights, glass of local Syrah in hand. The private terrace is surrounded by vines and views that stretch to the rolling hills and endless sky. Two-bedroom River Lodges overlook Tukituki River, a perfect spot for small groups or couples.
For an exclusive and elevated stay, opt for The Lodge nestled in Giants Estate, with four spacious and indulgent bedrooms with breathtaking views, manicured grounds and private outdoor dining spaces. Located just a few minutes away, Te Mania is a uniquely designed, glass-fronted residence with four bedrooms and space for up to 12 guests.

Our Passion Runs Deep
We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.
Definition of Luxury
Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.
Fun & Refreshing
We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
