A Curated Far North Experience

Spend several days exploring the Bay of Islands and Far North from your own private guesthouse near Kerikeri, with time to slow down, settle in, and experience the region at a more relaxed pace.

From island-dotted coastlines and cultural landmarks to vineyard lunches, coastal drives and quiet garden evenings, this curated experience combines some of Northland’s most memorable highlights with the comfort and privacy of your own self-contained guesthouse.

Take to the skies on a scenic helicopter flight over the Bay of Islands, cruise through turquoise waters and island landscapes, discover the stories of Aotearoa at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, and enjoy long lunches and unhurried afternoons as you explore the Far North at your own pace.

Between experiences, return to the peace of Treghan Lodge – surrounded by gardens, birdsong and the slower rhythm that makes this part of New Zealand so special.
