Matariki marks a time to pause, reflect, reconnect, and welcome the quieter rhythm of winter.

This July, escape to the Bay of Islands for a slower winter stay in your own completely private garden guesthouse at Treghan Lodge – peaceful, self-contained, and surrounded by subtropical gardens just minutes from Kerikeri.

To celebrate the season, guests staying 3 nights or more during July will enjoy a selection of thoughtful winter touches designed for slower days and cosy evenings, including:

:: A seasonal Matariki Gathering Basket with local produce and thoughtful winter touches
:: Delicious breakfast provisions with homemade preserves, breads and muesli
:: Bottle of local red wine
:: Makana chocolates on arrival

:: Space, privacy and time to properly unwind

Spend your days exploring coastal walks, galleries, local dining and winter markets, before returning each evening to warmth, calm and your own private retreat.

Perfect for couples, longer stays, and a quieter winter escape in Northland.
