Jetty House, New Zealand

Equal parts performance and pleasure, this home is the ideal destination for any holiday, regardless of the season. As an eHaus Euro this home was designed and built with rigors of the Passive House Standard front of mind, while not certified this home offers a consistently warm, comfortable, healthy, and refreshing environment, even in one of New Zealand’s most challenging climates.

Affectionately known as the Jetty House for its captivating visual & physical connection from the front door to the serene Lake Taupō, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home may be modest in size (178sqm), but it delivers an extraordinary living experience.

Upon entering through the front door and moving down ‘the Jetty’, you’ll be greeted by a spacious living room that gracefully descends the hillside, affording you the most breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Taupō and the surrounding Kinloch region.

Beyond its indoor charm, ‘The Jetty’ thoughtfully integrates outdoor living into its design. Whether you seek refuge from the sun or wish to bask in the gentle lake breezes, this home provides a variety of spaces for relaxation and retreat throughout the day and night.

‘The Jetty’ is a holiday home that transcends expectations, offering a harmonious blend of performance and pleasure. Its unwavering comfort, stunning views, and thoughtful design make it the ultimate destination for a memorable getaway.
