Set in park-like grounds, Karamea House features a sweeping driveway, gardens with fishponds, paddocks and groves of native trees. Built in colonial style from native kauri, matai and rimu, Karamea House is based on the historical design of Kemp House, the oldest wooden building in New Zealand, with deep verandas and spacious interiors. Karamea House is private and secluded, yet less than 2km from the main State Highway and a 10-minute drive north of Whangarei. On-site facilities include outdoor swimming and spa pools and an all-weather Astroturf tennis court. Breakfasts at Karamea House often include freshly squeezed orange juice, French toast with bacon, banana and maple syrup.
