A quieter side of New Zealand
Private self-contained guesthouses in Kerikeri, Bay of Islands – designed for travellers wanting privacy, slower mornings, and a more relaxed New Zealand escape.
Set amongst established gardens in New Zealand’s subtropical Far North, Treghan offers a quieter alternative to rushed itineraries and crowded tourism centres.

Whether escaping a busy Sydney schedule, Melbourne winter, or simply looking for a calmer kind of holiday, Treghan offers space to truly unwind.
A Softer Winter Escape

- 3 nights or more in a private garden guesthouse
- a bottle of Northland red wine on arrival
- Treghan’s Winter Ritual Basket with curated seasonal touches for cosy evenings and relaxed mornings
- a gourmet welcome platter with cheeses and seasonal accompaniments
- breakfast provisions including homemade muesli, fresh bread, and local preserves
- complimentary WiFi and onsite parking
Designed for couples, groups or families wanting privacy, comfort, and a gentler winter escape.
Golf, Food and Wine
Northland is home to some of New Zealand’s most spectacular golf courses, including Kauri Cliffs, Waitangi Golf Club, and the Bay of Islands Golf Club in Kerikeri.
Many guests combine golf with vineyard lunches, farmers markets, coastal drives, and relaxed afternoons exploring the region.
The Bay of Islands is also home to excellent local dining, vineyards, and award-winning restaurants – offering an easy blend of food, wine, and slower travel experiences.
Evenings are easy and unhurried – local wine, peaceful gardens, and the comfort of returning to your own private guesthouse after a day exploring.
Your Own Private Guesthouse
Unlike traditional hotels or larger resorts, Treghan offers fully self-contained guesthouses with no shared guest facilities.
Each guesthouse has its own entrance, living areas, kitchen or kitchenette, outdoor spaces, and peaceful garden outlooks – allowing guests to settle in comfortably and explore at their own pace.
Many guests choose to stay four nights or longer, unpack once, and enjoy a slower Bay of Islands experience.
Surprisingly Easy From Australia
Travelling to Northland is often easier than many guests expect.
Fly direct to Auckland from major Australian cities, then take a short domestic connection to Kerikeri or enjoy a relaxed scenic drive north through some of New Zealand’s most beautiful coastal landscapes.
Once here, everything feels close at hand – golf, vineyards, beaches, galleries, coastal walks and local dining are all within easy reach of Treghan.
Stay A Little Longer
Whether you are planning a winter escape, golf holiday, food and wine getaway, or simply time away to unwind, Treghan offers a calm and welcoming base for exploring the Bay of Islands.
Many guests choose longer stays to settle into the rhythm of the Far North, appreciating the privacy, generous space, peaceful gardens and unhurried atmosphere that make this part of New Zealand feel so different.
During the cooler months, Northland’s subtropical climate offers a softer winter experience – green landscapes, crisp coastal air, outdoor dining and peaceful evenings beside the firepit.
