Please note: Starfish House is no longer operating.
This version of the website is purely for the Big Fish Creative portfolio - Enjoy.
Starfish House is one of Northland’s most stylish and artistic holiday
homes. Placed on a hilltop overlooking beautiful Matapouri Bay on
the Tutukaka Coast, the House looks straight out to the Poor Knights
Islands. Starfish is a great place to stay if you’ve come
to Tutukaka to dive our famous shipwrecks and the Poor Knights Marine
Reserve, now ranked the top sub-tropical dive site in the World.
The Tutukaka Coast also offers wonderful boating, yachting, deep-sea and line fishing, kayaking,
whale and dolphin watching, surfing, walking tracks, as well as superb beaches for swimming
and snorkelling. For holiday accommodation in Tutukaka, Starfish House has it all... stunning
views, relaxed comfort, style and charm. We are only 2.5 hours from Auckland, half an hour
from Whangarei and 1 hour south of the Bay of Islands.
The relaxed lifestyle of the locals and the relative unspoilt nature
of this piece of pristine New Zealand, guarantee visitors a total
escape from the worries of the world and a warm welcome to an authentic
kiwi experience. Our aim is to send visitors home from their vacation
having tasted fully just what its like to live, work and play here.

Starfish is a special place built
by artists, for artists, to live and work in seamless harmony. Its
architectural excellence, inspiring interiors and stunning outlook,
earned it a 7-page spread in NZ House and Garden in March 1998.
There’s an Art Gallery, Starfish Gallery, built next to the
House where the very best of local art can be viewed and purchased
including the widest range of paintings and prints by popular Northland
artist Tom Burnett.
Creative weekend workshops are also available at Starfish. Participants
can chose from mosaics, jewellery, tivaevae, Spanish Cooking, painting,
massage, pampering and much more.
The House is also now open as a boutique venue for weddings and other
special celebrations as well as for small, corporate conferences and
planning meetings.
In-house catering is always happily available.
Visitors to the Tutukaka Coast can chose to stay at Starfish House
as fully-catered home stay guests, just do B&B for a night or
two, or rent the whole House for an extended period for a special
family or group holiday.
