We’ve been taking some new photos and I am excited to share them with you, a combination a wide and bright and a more intimate framing...as The Artist’s House is such journey, from quiet and inspiring retreat feels, (one guest said to me it is like arriving into a giant hug) to a playful and expansive space, it is a challenge to chose the best shot! This is the Crystal Cave Movie Lounge… delicious and cozy with furry beanbags, big couches and surrounded by beautiful native plantings. You can curl up with the heat of the fire, lounge in the afternoon sun with the doors wide open, choose a book from the library, pour yourself a GnT or a cuppa tea… It’s pure magic! Family stays, women’s retreats, romantic getaway or a gaggle of your colourful friends, I can’t wait to host you 🧡💥🧡 Thanks for the stunning photos and the latest fabulous human to join The Artist’s House team, Jess!

What a team of volunteers!! We have plans, a dream that had been macerating away for awhile now and I decided to block off the house awhile and get a team of volunteers and wow, they are all amazing! Big day yesterday planting the last of the shrubs hanging about, clearing up last jobs before we got stuck into this… the chicken coop is now gone!! Thanks so much JB, Margaux and Jess 💥💥💥 we did amazing!!! Can’t wait to start the build 😂

Beautiful reflective moment on the Clutha River this week

Had a lovely upgrade in the Masterpiece Bedroom with the addition of a fabulous fold out couch… now there’s a lovely relaxing place to curl up and read, or have a nap in the afternoon sun on the delicious shaggy bag by whilst letting the creativity of the house seep into your dreams 🧡 it’s a perfect romantic date room, or as a shared room if you book a retreat style stay with friends… book your stay https://www.theartistshousenz.com/

I’m out planting today and as I walk the land seeing what gaps need to be filled or backgrounds that need changing, as I turned and headed back towards the house I noticed how many of my flowers are blooming… it’s so incredibly exciting! Thus berm was only planted Dec 24 and the second one Jan/ Feb 26… whoop whoop!

The one who is actually the boss of The Artist’s House team 🥰

She’s always overseeing all projects and checking up on progress!

Appearing mysteriously when new guests arrive. Settling nearby taking in afternoon chats while she naps with one eye open.

Somehow knowing exactly where the good energy is.

I often joke that we simply run the house… but Lhotse is the one truly in charge of hospitality.

And honestly, every creative home needs a little guardian spirit like Lhotse :)

Life at The Artist’s House wouldn’t be quite the same without our fluffy little host making sure everyone is having the best experience possible. 🐾

Ata mārie e hoa mā,

This sweet review made my morning and had me smiling from ear to ear.

“A fascinating place to stay for artists and for those who simply love to experience art.”

That’s exactly the magic I hope The Artist’s House brings. A space to relax, create, and simply be yourself… with the stream always ready for a refreshing dip.

Thank you for bringing your beautiful energy into this space. It wouldn’t be the same without you.

Still smiling over here after reading this.

This Women’s Month, we honor and give our playful Sonia Kiki Jones the appreciation she so deeply deserves. The Artist’s House is more than a home; it is a sanctuary of creativity, reflection, and inspiration, lovingly shaped by her vision. Every corner tells a story, every detail invites pause, and every visitor leaves with a piece of the magic she creates.

Through her art, gardens, and spaces, Sonia celebrates women’s courage, growth, and the beauty of expression. She reminds us all to embrace our own light, to create without fear, and to honor the journey of becoming fully ourselves. This month, we celebrate Sonia and the radiant space she has built, a place where creativity, empowerment, and connection come together in the most beautiful way.

Hello beautiful humans,

There are certain days at The Artist’s House where the atmosphere feels almost golden, where the simplest moments become the most meaningful.

Morning coffee shared slowly at the table.
Sunlight moving across graffiti lined walls.
An afternoon stretching open and unhurried, inviting you to read, write, dream, or simply sit and be.
Cozy rooms layered with art and texture, each corner holding its own quiet personality.

This house has become a living mood board of everything I love. Creativity. Warmth. Honest expression. Spaces that welcome you exactly as you are.

It is not just about how it looks.
It is about how it feels.

Feeling at home in your body.
Feeling inspired without pressure.
Feeling connected to yourself, to others, and to the land around us here in Aotearoa.

Every guest who walks through the door adds another layer to the story. A shared meal. A late night conversation. A slow exhale. The house carries all of it.

This is what The Artist’s House means to me.
A place to gather, to create, to rest, and to remember what truly matters.

With much love,
Sonia
