A Different Way to Stay in the Bay of Islands
Treghan was created for travellers who value privacy, space and the freedom to experience the Bay of Islands at their own pace.
Instead of shared hotel corridors and busy communal areas, guests stay in their own private guesthouse surrounded by English-style gardens and native bush, just minutes from Kerikeri.
While many travellers search for a boutique hotel in Kerikeri, Treghan offers something a little different – luxury boutique guesthouse accommodation where every stay is completely private, with no shared guest facilities and no interruptions.
Some guests come for golf. Others for gardens, food and wine, art, history or the natural beauty of Northland. Many explore the region through our curated experiences, while others simply arrive, settle in and enjoy the slower rhythm that has become increasingly rare in modern travel.
Guests often choose Treghan for its calm atmosphere, generous living spaces, and the freedom to do as much – or as little – as they wish.
The Property
Treghan is a small collection of beautifully designed, self-contained guesthouses providing boutique accommodation and set amongst nearly two acres of landscaped gardens and native bush.
Created for guests who value privacy and comfort, each guesthouse offers the ease of having your own place to relax, unwind and experience the Bay of Islands at a gentler pace.
The Gardens
Inspired by the charm of an English country garden, Treghan’s gardens are an important part of the guest experience.
Meandering paths, mature plantings, seasonal colour and peaceful places to sit create a setting designed for slowing down and enjoying the moment.
Featured in NZ House & Garden and included on the NZ House & Garden Tour, the gardens continue to evolve throughout the seasons.
Dining & Local Flavours
From vineyard lunches and local restaurants to breakfast provisions featuring homemade and local touches, food forms an important part of the Treghan experience.
We’re always happy to help guests discover some of the Bay of Islands’ favourite dining experiences.
Sustainability & Environment
Alongside guest comfort, thoughtful care is taken to preserve the peaceful character of Treghan. Areas of native bush are protected, local birdlife is encouraged, and wherever practical we incorporate local and organic products throughout the guest experience.
We believe small, considered choices help maintain the beauty of the property while supporting the environment that makes Northland so special.
Our Philosophy
We believe luxury is often found in simplicity – privacy, comfort, thoughtful hospitality and the freedom to truly relax.
Treghan was created to offer a calmer and more personal alternative to traditional accommodation.
