A Restful Retreat

Our Projects
Written By Kim Manunui

Set against a backdrop of rolling farmland and established trees, this rural pool blends modern design with a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

 

The project reflects a simple goal — to create a space that feels calm, timeless, and blends beautifully with its environment.

Surrounded by timber decking and stone paving, the pool sits slightly elevated to capture the view across open paddocks and distant hills. Large rocks and native plantings soften the edges, while the clean geometric lines keep the design contemporary and refined.

Ample seating provides opportunity to relax and take in the view, and the generous decking allows for easy entertaining. Together, the natural materials, thoughtful detailing, and the depth of the Karekare colour create a pool that feels grounded, serene, and perfectly at home in its rural landscape.

Pool size: 10m x 5m

Pool colour: Karekare

Pool build: Mayfair Pools Wellington & Kapiti

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
