With discretion.

We welcome thoughtful enquiries and, by discretion, host a small number of curated brand dinners, photoshoots and private estate stays.

A private estate above Piha, on Auckland's west coast.

Restored by Gerard Commissaris and rebuilt as a modern, peaceful escape, The Louise's sits high above Piha with the bush all around and the sea in view. Each booking has exclusive use of the house and grounds, and The Little Louise's retreat comes with it.
