Spread over 12 levels the range of apartments – from indulgent penthouse to creative studio – enjoy breathtaking ocean views of Orewa Beach and the surrounding area.
From the moment you walk through the double set of glass doors on the ground floor, you know you are in a completely different world. The understated luxury of the foyer provides a cocoon against the noise of the street and the whims of the weather. The music is just loud enough to break the silence without intruding on conversation – and makes any brief wait at reception enjoyable rather than tedious.
A heated swimming pool – with the recent addition of a “littlies” pool – together with a spa is available for residents and guests as is gym, sauna and outdoor barbecue area, all set amidst beautiful landscaped gardens. For the really adventurous it is even possible to jog around the complex thanks to a jogging track that is part of the fourth floor.
But for those looking to reward an employee, entertain an important client, hold a conference or simply enjoy a treat, go no further than a penthouse suite. Curved ceiling to floor windows in the living area allow occupants to admire most of the coastline. Balconies on either side allow guests to enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of coffee while taking in the sea air – the beach after all lies only a block away.
The main bedroom opens to a balcony and has its own en suite. In addition to the usual amenities there is also a washing machine. What a bonus – no more expensive or arduous laundry services. If you need more than a shower to soothe away a day of travel or meetings, the main bathroom has both a shower and a spa bath which should do the trick.
A second smaller bedroom opens to the second balcony and a small bedroom/office completes the suite. Air conditioning maintains a comfortable temperature, while the furnishings, including lush carpet underfoot, ensure the world is kept outside the door.
At street level a mix of retail outlets from stylish cafes to designer boutiques, including the renowned Hayami Restaurant offering a variety of Japanese cuisine, caters for every whim.
Business travel is a necessity for many but it doesn’t have to include an uncomfortable night on a lumpy mattress in a draughty room. Next time take the opportunity to make the world of commerce a luxurious experience by escaping to The Nautilus where business is surely pleasure.
