On an Island in the South Pacific - a land known as Aotearoa (New Zealand) - you will find Tahi. A secluded estate of over 740 acres, encompassing surf beach to native forest. In an environment dedicated to conservation and the restoration of ecosystems, luxury accommodation awaits your arrival; providing you with an unparalleled opportunity to experience some of the many wonders that Aotearoa has to offer.
Situated in the North Island of New Zealand, on a beach where the tallest bird in the world once roamed freely, in a land of myths and legends, Tahi has its own story to tell. A story of birds returning, forests rejuvenating and wetlands reappearing. Surface to another world, where past, present and future are treasured - where time is spent as you choose and all within surroundings committed to making our carbon footprint lighter while not compromising on your comfort.

Eco Friendly
As the Maori tribes once fiercely defended this land, we are passionate about the reawakening of its spirit. The more trees we plant, the more wetlands we reintroduce, the faster the restoration of ecosystems.
This is a story of birds returning, legends woken, centuries year old trees resting in forests now rejuvenating around them. This is, about guardianship (kaitiaki) of the land rather than ownership, and in order to do this we follow the principles of strategic sustainable management to guide our decisions.
How We Achieve This:
By generating an excess of carbon credits through plantings of native trees and shrubs, both to increase biodiversity and to enhance the environment.
Providing carbon credits and offering them for sale.
New buildings designed to respond to the varied land-forms and ecosystems corresponding to each unique site. With the four elements as their inspiration and the concept of cradle to grave at their core.
By utilising renewable resources - and employing local people.
Sourcing trees locally, or from our own nursery. Practising pest control to protect the number of native birds and plants, (some of whom are nationally rare species).
Protecting the forest, which includes many ancient trees, with one Kauri up to 1000 years old.
