Juxtaposed between rolling farmland and dramatic surf below the cliffs.
Where life changing experiences are found.
A place to gain perspective, and unlock potential.
Situated near Muriwai on the North Island of New Zealand, Parihoa Farm is a total of 728 acres consisting of three main sections, the first being Tirikohua Point which is 120 acres, the House of Parihoa is the heart occupying 15 acres and Table Top Farm which is 585 acres. This once in a generation coastal opportunity set high on the cliffs of the west cost overlooking the Tasman Sea is one not to be missed.
Parihoa Farm is like no other place on earth. Upon discovering the farm, the owner, Matt Chapman's life completely changed, knowing he would never find another place like this.
A series of working farms, the sections border the Tasman Sea and iconic Te Henga walkway and feature dramatic rolling hills, lush native bush and expansive wetlands.
The cornerstone of Parihoa Farm is the Andrew Patterson-designed House of Parihoa. The home is a contradiction - an uber-modern fortress juxtaposed against the stark, windswept landscape.

Matt Chapman
Owner
Matt came to New Zealand in 2013 from Singapore. He was forwarded the sale listing of Parihoa by a friend and was transfixed by the images. Matt befriended the Storey Family who were selling the farm, and ultimately bought the property.
Almost a decade on, Matt is passionate about Parihoa which has become a place of personal transformation and healing for him, his friends and guests.
Matt's passion is in people and high performance. Known globally in the human resources field, due to his co-founding of ChapmanCG. Matt has recently launched Matt Chapman Wellbeing from New Zealand, a global brand putting wellbeing at the heart of work. Matt puts Parihoa at the centre of this concept and aims for it to be a place of wellbeing for New Zealand and the world.
The Jewel Box at the House of Parihoa is the crown jewel of Parihoa.
The Jewel Box was created with a vision to showcase exceptional talent and ideas.
It was a bold project undertaken by architect Andrew Patterson. Completed in 2022, the event and retreat space structure elongates the already iconic House of Parihoa, that was built in 2008.
The Jewel Box is a unique event and retreat space with unlimited possibilities, connecting wellbeing, creativity and entrepreneurship.
The House of Parihoa
Whilst a sophisticated structure, the House of Parihoa also resembles a giant tent. One in which you feel safe and comfortable inside. The large windows bring in the surroundings and the skies. On a moonlit night, the moon shines through the interior spaces.
It's the perfect place to experience the wonder and majesty of nature from glorious still summer days to wild winter storms.
Parihoa Farm lends itself to bold thinking and breakthroughs. It has been the place for my global network to connect and share big ideas on wellbeing, creativity and entrepreneurship.
Parihoa Farm has contrasting west coast weather, storms are followed by sunshine and wild winds soon fade to stillness.
Spring
September to November
Parihoa Farm comes alive with the birth of new lambs and calves. Winter can still linger well into Spring, but soon the green shoots come, the days get warmer and summer is on its way.
Summer
December to February
Summer can be electric at Parihoa Farm. Long sunshine days, stillness from the winds, heavenly sunsets and the NZ holiday feeling. The farm gets dry and there can be bugs, but that's Parihoa.
Autumn
March to May
Summer in New Zealand can last well into Autumn. Parihoa Farm gets dry and the long days still remain, but so does the sunshine. Winter starts to make its presence felt in May.
Winter
June to August
With the fire raging and the chance to get all those overdue chores done, winter is a time of reflection and accomplishment whilst the farm is beautiful and green.
