Mission Bay is set to get a new boutique wellness hotel, with health, fitness and hospitality offerings.

It’s the latest project for former NZ triathlete Scott Unsworth, the founder of international sportswear brand Orca, and his wife and business partner, Hildegard.

Over the past 12 years, the couple have bought seven titles for Stay Mission Bay, their coastal offering of serviced apartments, while also setting up the boat-chartering business Savoy Charters and, more recently, the luxury accommodation business Stay Luxe.

Stay Mission Bay, on the corner of Patteson Avenue and Marau Crescent, is made up of two neighbouring buildings, the 1960s Marau and the 1980s Patteson.

The wellness dream began when Scott, 56, knocked down the fence between the two buildings to create more car parking.

“In doing so, I realised just how much potential there was in the land surrounding the existing buildings to connect and bring new businesses into the precinct.”

Scott says their vision will transform the property from simply accommodation into a destination for health, wellness and community.

“The plan is a combination of saunas, cold and hot plunge pools, health and fitness facilities, alongside great food offering healthy, nutritious lunches and dinners, and potentially even a rooftop bar.”

The ivy-clad Patteson, remodelled into one two-storey building under Hildegard’s interior design vision, is a mix of Hamptons chic and tropical luxury. Its eight serviced apartments are led by a four-bedroom on the upper floor, which sleeps up to 13, advertised to rent for $2000 per night.
