Blackwood draws inspiration from the ancient Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which celebrates slow-living, contentment, and simplicity, alongside the Scandinavian concept of hygge, known for its emphasis on comfort, cosiness, and wellbeing. Step into this serene retreat, where minimalist elegance meets natural warmth, located in the peaceful surroundings of Te Horo on the Kapiti Coast.

Nestled amidst the lush, natural beauty of Kapiti, our Japandi haven offers a seamless connection to the great outdoors. Our Summer House boasts a cozy open fireplace, ensuring warmth and romance even on the chilliest days.

Step outside and sink into the bubbling hot tub, where you can soak in the stunning views and let your worries melt away or spend the long summer evenings chatting around the fire pit.
