Dubai Creek is an essential part of Dubai’s history and was at the heart of the city’s commercial activity in its early days. Back then, the vibrant metropolis we know today was a pearl diving village heavily involved in maritime trade with the Creek serving as a key port.

Welcome to Wakarara Country Estate, an extraordinary homestead set against the dramatic backdrop of the Ruahine Ranges, representing the pinnacle of refined country living in Hawke’s Bay.
The property’s location was chosen for the raised plateau that the home is sited on, with panoramic views across the hinterland of Hawke’s Bay. The rural landscape is a combination of viticulture, horticulture and rolling pastureland on the short commute from Hastings or Napier. It offers buyers a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property in one of New Zealand’s most picturesque regions.
Wakarara is crafted with materials sourced from around the globe, together the homestead, secondary accommodation and ancillary buildings span over 2,286 sq m and are set within approximately 24.7 hectares. The property blends timeless architectural character with modern luxury, designed for multi-generational living or as a prestigious retreat.
In consultation with Central Hawke’s Bay District Council, a proposed boundary and title realignment has been progressed, specifically designed to enable international purchasers to meet New Zealand regulations under the Active Investor Programme. A proposed plan reconfigures the residential holding to 4.285 ha (approx), positioning the estate comfortably below the 5 ha threshold while preserving the setting and integrity of the residence.
Inside, soaring ceilings, generous proportions, and finely crafted detailing define the residence. From the grand entrance lobby French oak flooring leads you through beautifully lit hallways to explore the main home. Multiple living and entertaining spaces flow seamlessly, equally suited to intimate family gatherings or large-scale hosting. Vast joinery opens to manicured lawns, covered terraces and views beyond. Accommodation in the residence is provided for by six luxurious bedrooms and six bathrooms that provide privacy and comfort.
Informal living is catered for with a family room adjoining the executive kitchen and scullery. Amenities elevate the estate to international standards: a heated indoor pool, gymnasium, sauna, snooker and media room, a defined large office or board room, and six-car garaging is provided for. Extensive service facilities and separate secondary accommodation that has two bedrooms and bathrooms allows for comfortable onsite management, or further guest accommodation.
Beyond the home and lawns, landscaped gardens, and sweeping pastoral vistas unfold. Accessed via a sweeping driveway and surrounded by park-like grounds, the property retains the authenticity of a working rural estate, offering scope for equestrian, viticulture, or simply the enjoyment of wide-open space. The elevated position captures the essence of Hawke’s Bay - rolling hills, native bush, and endless skies.
Near the village of Ongaonga, the estate enjoys proximity to the service town of Waipukurau. Hastings and Havelock North, with their renowned wineries, restaurants, and championship golf, are within easy reach, while Napier Airport provides seamless connections to Auckland, and international gateways.
Wakarara is more than a residence, it is a lifestyle investment, a sanctuary, and a statement of prestige. Whether a private residence, a luxury retreat, or a base for exploring New Zealand’s celebrated landscapes, this estate delivers unparalleled scale, privacy, and opportunity.

Important: This property may be suitable for overseas purchasers. However, this does not constitute confirmation of eligibility, approval, or suitability for any individual buyer. All purchasers remain subject to New Zealand’s overseas investment laws, including the Overseas Investment Act 2005, and may require consent from the Overseas Investment Office. Please obtain your own independent legal, financial, and technical advice and secure any necessary approvals before proceeding with a purchase.
