Exceptional Lifestyle – Live, Host or Invest
Luxury home, private retreat or boutique lodge – the choice is yours.
A Rare Find in the Bay of Islands
Treghan Lodge is a unique lifestyle estate in New Zealand’s Bay of Islands. Privately positioned on nearly two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds just minutes from Kerikeri, it offers an exceptional combination of luxury living, flexibility, and income potential.
Whether you’re looking for a private family retreat, a second home in paradise, or a boutique lodge with an elegant owner’s residence, Treghan can adapt to your vision.
A Home That Embraces Light, Comfort and Space
Built in 2010 to an exceptional standard, the four-bedroom residence is designed for graceful living.
Wide-planked 100-year-old pine flooring, a Jetmaster open fireplace, and expansive decks create warmth and style. The home is filled with light, with large sliders opening east, north and west onto 80m² of hardwood decking — ideal for entertaining or enjoying the gardens.
An adjoining one-bedroom annex with separate entrance, kitchenette and ensuite offers flexible living for guests, family, or staff. It can be seamlessly integrated or closed off as needed.
The current owners have enhanced the home with a redesigned master suite, new paintwork, upgraded furnishings, and an extensive garden redevelopment.
Award-Winning Gardens and Outdoor Living
Treghan’s mature gardens are a standout feature. Landscaped with care and creativity, they offer seasonal colour, private spaces, and tranquil pathways. The gardens have been featured in NZ House & Garden Magazine, included in the 2020 NZ House & Garden Tour, and admired on several garden safaris as well as the Pink Ribbon House Tour.
Outdoor living is central here — from morning coffee on the deck to sunset entertaining beneath the trees.
