Our Philosophy

Treghan was created as a quieter, more private way to stay in the Bay of Islands.

Set amongst established gardens in Kerikeri, each guesthouse has been designed as fully self-contained accommodation – somewhere guests can properly unwind, settle in, and enjoy the freedom of their own space without shared facilities or constant activity around them.

Rather than a traditional lodge experience, Treghan offers something more personal and unhurried – generous living spaces, sheltered decks, peaceful gardens, and the freedom for guests to experience Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands at their own pace.

Owners Anna Hamilton and Murray Bain bring backgrounds spanning international marketing, finance, investment banking, governance and design. A shared appreciation for travel, gardens, golf, art and relaxed luxury has helped shape Treghan into a place that values calm, privacy and thoughtful detail above formality.

Supported by a dedicated local team, Treghan continues to offer a relaxed and welcoming stay for couples, families, golfers, independent travellers and those simply seeking space to slow down.
