The Owner's Cottage at Poronui contains four double or twin bedrooms and two bunkrooms, each with four single bunks, providing a total sleeping capacity for twelve adults. Attached sunrooms complement the four main bedrooms, each appointed with luxurious ensuite bathrooms.
Two expansive lounges with soaring ceilings and four huge open fireplaces are perfect for entertaining friends and family. And if it’s relaxation you are after, simply curl up with a good book on one of the huge couches in front of a blazing log fire.
Renowned for its fabulous food and wine, meals at the Owner's Cottage showcase New Zealand regional gourmet excellence and include delicacies of Poronui’s game food and local fare.
A self-catering option allows guests the opportunity to prepare and cook their own meals. This option can be for the duration of their stay, or guests may choose to use the services of our in-house Chef at any time.
Despite a feeling of being "away from it all", the Owner's Cottage is within easy reach of popular and interesting New Zealand towns and tourist destinations. The Owner's Cottage is just 10 minutes away from the main Poronui House, and 40 minutes from the busy tourist township of Taupo. To the east, 90 minutes by car (30 minutes by helicopter), is the Pacific Ocean and the art deco city of Napier. Surrounding Napier is the world-renowned wine district of Hawke’s Bay. A similar journey to the northeast will see you in Rotorua, famous for its Maori culture, natural geothermal activity and wildlife sanctuaries.
