Kensington Park’s Kauri Grove proves that luxury townhouses are far from a compromise when it comes to downsizing from a lifestyle block or large family home.
Spacious, Stylish and Exceptionally Well Designed
These high-end, architecturally-designed, freehold residences celebrate all the same freedom and lock and leave flexibility as apartments, but with that extra space for friends and family to stay, more privacy and a private garden to potter in.
Off the back of the extraordinary success and high demand of Kauri Grove’s initial release – with residents now firmly ensconced – Kensington Park is now marketing two more of these thoughtfully designed and beautifully finished three-bedroom townhouses on Landmark Terrace.
Tucked into the upper northwest corner of the park, Kauri Grove feels more independent and enjoys stunning views of neighbouring Alice Eaves Scenic Reserve. Each 165sqm home showcases a timeless style conceived by renowned interior designer Kate O’Connor and are drenched in sun and light.
As residents of Kensington Park, owners also enjoy resort-style amenities – a heated indoor pool, gym, sauna, on-site café, and landscaped walking trails.
The Perfect Option for Lifestyle Changers
While Kensington Park is renowned for its premium apartments, Kauri Grove provides the perfect option for buyers who are used to more space and having land around them, but who still seek an easy lifestyle without endless home maintenance and being a slave to a large property.
Bruce and his wife moved into their brand new Kauri Grove townhouse three months ago and had been looking at the Park for some time.
“We were living at Algies Bay for 15 years and wanted to downsize and be closer to Auckland, but not too close. Over two years of looking, it became clear that Ōrewa, and Kensington Park in particular, offered the perfect balance. It’s close to the Matakana Coast and Auckland, but still an easy walk to the beach.”
Kauri Grove ticked a lot of boxes for the couple. Kauri Grove ticked a lot of boxes for the couple. “They’re spacious with nice decks and on a freehold title, which means no body corporate.” “We’re both also keen gardeners so to still have a little bit of garden space, but not too much, was very appealing. We were on a much bigger block that was a lot of work.” Their new home suits them perfectly.
“We’ve been very impressed with the whole build. It’s high spec, light and airy, and gets great sun. Because there’s bathroom facilities upstairs and downstairs you can host guests without intrusion and we also wanted a room to have as study/general purpose room.” “We can imagine them appealing to not just us in our semi-retired status but to younger people as well.”
They’re looking forward to summer living in Orewa. “There’s space away from the crowds but you’re easy walking distance from town. Orewa used to be just a drive through place but it’s so much more than that now. It’s got great amenity with supermarkets, chemists and medial facilities – all those important things.”
A Welcome Return to Townhouse Living
Louise Skinner, Project Marketing at Kensington, says Kauri Grove has been an exciting project for the team.
“These townhouses are perfect for those buyers wanting a bit more space around them and perhaps a garden to enjoy whilst still being a part of the Kensington Park community.”

“We haven’t built townhouses in Kensington for some time, so we have been thrilled by the positive feedback.” With strong demand and more releases on the horizon, Kauri Grove has redefined luxury townhouse living in Ōrewa, offering freedom, flexibility, and a lifestyle that truly feels like home.
