Some homes impress by scale, and others by design. Very few combine both with this level of confidence, quality and permanence.
Positioned on Meeanee Quay, with a moving marina outlook to one side and a resort-style courtyard to the other, The Quay was conceived as a luxury contemporary coastal courtyard house, blending minimalist modernism with resort-style living. Designed for those who expect more: comfort, privacy, refinement and an effortless lifestyle.
Completed in 2025, architecturally designed by Architecture HDT and constructed by Gemco, The Quay has been designed and built to endure. Precast concrete and structural steel underpin the home, while aluminium, New Zealand limestone and glass define its exterior. Inside, copper, natural stone, American black walnut, timber ceilings and extensive glazing create interiors that feel warm, rich and deeply liveable.
The first floor forms the principal living level, arranged to capture the marina outlook and ever-changing life on the water. The kitchen, dining, lounge and sitting areas look across the marina, while approximately 54 m² of outdoor decks on both the marina side and poolside create genuine indoor-outdoor flow.
The main kitchen is both striking and highly functional, anchored by a substantial island bench and extraordinary sculptural feature light. Supported by a scullery and positioned close to the temperature-controlled wine cellar, it is a natural gathering point for living and entertaining.
Also on this level are the main bedroom suite and a guest suite, offering private, elevated accommodation away from the ground floor. A dedicated wellness retreat adds another rare dimension, with a six-person steam room, dual copper cold plunge showers and cooled filtered drinking water.
The ground floor offers an entirely different experience. With its own full kitchen, living room and laundry, it provides flexibility for extended family, long-stay guests, adult children, live-in support or larger-scale entertaining, while remaining cohesive as one exceptional residence. Two further bedroom suites are also located on this level, along with the main entry, gallery, three-car garaging and direct connection to the private resort environment.
To the rear, The Quay reveals its courtyard-house design, turning inward to the pool and spa. The heated magnesium pool, inground ozone spa, tropical planting, French limestone paving, outdoor copper shower, lighting and sound system create a sheltered resort setting that feels calm, private and removed from the outside world.
The poolside cabana is a destination, with a copper bar, translucent marble bar top, bar fridge, ice machine, dishwasher, sparkling water and sound system. It is a true extension of the home’s entertaining spaces, designed with theatre and function in mind.
An eight-person lift with see-through glass doors provides ease of movement through the residence, while three-car garaging and dual gated driveways add further practicality.
The scale of the home is matched by its comfort, with water underfloor heating through much of the residence, plus ducted heating and cooling, fresh-air ventilation, acoustic tinted double glazing, smart automation, solar and battery storage.
Approximately five minutes from Hawke’s Bay Airport and close to Ahuriri’s café, restaurant and waterfront scene, The Quay offers a rare combination of connection and retreat.
For boating enthusiasts, the opportunity to secure a 14.0 metre marina berth, available by negotiation, adds another layer to the lifestyle on offer.
For those looking for a conventional family home, this will be more than they need. For the buyer seeking a waterfront residence of scale, privacy, wellness, entertaining and architectural distinction, The Quay is in a category of its own.
