Treghan Lodge Reviews, Awards & Professional Memberships
Since opening in 2015, Treghan Lodge has welcomed guests from New Zealand and around the world seeking complete privacy, peaceful surroundings and personalised boutique hospitality.
As an owner-operated boutique lodge, guests deal directly with the owners from their first enquiry through to personalised local recommendations during their stay. We believe trust is built through honest communication, genuine hospitality and attention to every detail of the guest experience.
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 celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a longer stay or simply taking time to unwind, guests experience the Bay of Islands at their own pace.
Treghan also welcomes independent travellers from around the world through direct bookings, travel advisors and inbound tour operators, combining personalised owner-hosted hospitality with the professional standards expected by the international travel trade.
Thoughtful touches, generous breakfast provisions, local recommendations and genuine hospitality have created memorable stays and inspired many guests to return or recommend Treghan to family and friends.
Those experiences have earned Treghan consistent five-star reviews, TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards, including the prestigious Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Award, and recognition in New Zealand and international travel publications.

“Treghan in Kerikeri is fantastic, with hosts who truly go the extra mile. When an excursion was cancelled due to weather, they helped put together a half-day drive showcasing stunning scenery and my first close look at a kauri tree.
