Wharau Lodge - Bay Of Islands Retreat

Book Now

A modern two‑bedroom lodge overlooking the Bay of Islands 

Just 10 minutes from Kerikeri with breathtaking views over one of New Zealand's most historic and iconic landscapes.

Relax in the hot tub surrounded by nature, watch the Tui's dart about in the morning while sip on your coffee or listen to the resident Kiwis calling each other once the sun goes down.  Spectacular sunrises are the norm here - a sight to behold for  the early-risers. 

Visit the Farmers Market on Saturday or Sunday morning and gather supplies to make yourself dinner in the fully equipped professional kitchen.

Book directly & save - No Booking Fees or GST

We have started this website to take bookings directly and help our guests save on fees charged by large platforms. 

In addition,  New Zealand tax laws require these platforms to charge 15% GST (VAT) on every booking.  Booking directly with us avoids this extra cost.

Airbnb Superhost

We have been on the AIRBNB platform for 10 years and during that time have consistently maintained the SUPERHOST status.

10 years of reviews speak for themselves

We have nearly 300 reviews and most of them are so complimentary we would be embarrassed to write them ourselves!
