About Jensen Bay House

Kia Ora and welcome to one of New Zealand´s first Eco-Houses.

Jensen Bay House has re-opened in 2010 it´s accommodation with the elements it was well known for: thought-provoking design, ground-breaking architecture and a unique nature-bonding experience. Jensen Bay House is more than a house: it is fully self-sufficient with state-of-art solar-photovoltaic-electric, solar-heat generating system, wind-generator, its own Freshwater-facility and New Zealand´s only clay-wall-heating-system. Garden and inside architecture were developed consulting a hindu monk and Feng Shui principles were implemented. Jensen Bay House is therefore a very special and distinct accommodation on Stewart Island.

We define luxury as the exclusive combination of time, space and a vast view - freeing you from day-to-day stress, recharging your batteries, opening your mind. This does not mean that you are out of reach: we provide for our guests broadband internet as well as a huge collection of books/DVD´s and offer a variety of additional services to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It´s simply more than just a house. Make more out of your trip to the Island. Grant yourself a stay at the Jensen Bay House.
