Treghan Lodge Awards, Reviews & Guest Experiences
Since opening in 2015, Treghan Lodge has welcomed guests from New Zealand and around the world who are looking for complete privacy, peaceful surroundings and personalised boutique hospitality.
Unlike a traditional lodge or hotel, every guest enjoys an entire self-contained guesthouse with its own entrance, living areas, kitchen facilities and outdoor spaces. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a longer stay or simply looking for somewhere to truly unwind, Treghan offers the space and privacy to experience the Bay of Islands at your own pace.
Thoughtful touches, generous breakfast provisions, local recommendations and genuine hospitality have helped create memorable stays for guests from around the world.
Many guests return to Treghan or recommend it to friends and family, while others tell us they have finally found the peaceful base they were searching for to explore Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands.
Those experiences have also earned Treghan recognition through TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards over many years and features in New Zealand and international travel publications.
