For many, Slipper Island, Coromandel is not something you discover. It is something you return to. First visits often began young, arriving by boat for school camps, learning to respect the sea, sleeping with salt in the air, sharing simple meals, and spending full days on the water until the sun dipped low. Those early experiences have a way of shaping how you see the world and where you feel most alive.
Years pass and life fills with responsibility and pace, yet this coast continues to draw you back. What once felt like adventure now feels like clarity. For a rare few, there comes a moment when returning is no longer enough, and the desire shifts from visiting a place to holding it, protecting it, and making it part of your story.
What an Address
This is not just land. This is freedom, perspective, and a life lived on your own terms.
Set high above the Pacific on an expansive 4872 square metre site, 193 Pacific Ocean on Slipper Island offers a rare chance to claim your place on one of New Zealand’s most exclusive privately owned islands. A location chosen not for convenience, but for conviction.
Sweeping blue water views stretch endlessly, your own mooring sits below, and the mainland feels refreshingly distant. Access remains effortless with a short boat ride from Tairua, Pauanui and Whangamata, just an hour from Tauranga or quick helicopter flights from Auckland, Hamilton, or Tauranga.
What truly elevates this opportunity is the newly established high protection marine reserve surrounding the island. This safeguarded environment preserves the clarity of the water, the richness of marine life, and the natural balance of the coastline for generations to come. It offers reassurance that the island experience remembered from earlier years will endure, protected and respected.
The island is renowned for its sub tropical microclimate, rolling green hills, lush native vegetation, and white sand beaches that still feel untouched. Days begin with the sun rising over the ocean and end with skies painted in colour, viewed from your elevated vantage where you truly sit above it all.
Existing infrastructure allows immediate enjoyment while plans for an architectural retreat take shape. Accommodation options at Slipper Island Resort provide flexibility, while reliable cellular coverage supports remote work, proving that isolation and connection can coexist with ease.
Life here follows the rhythm of tide and light. Swim in clear waters, kayak quiet bays, fish abundant grounds, and explore the nearby Alderman Islands, a sanctuary for marine life and a place of quiet wonder. Summer grocery deliveries arrive by boat, and the mainland remains close enough when required, yet far enough to truly let go.
This is for the independent thinker. The adventurer. The individual who measures wealth not only in assets, but in experience, privacy, and legacy.
Opportunities of this calibre are seldom offered.
