The Lodge
Bay of Islands Lodge sits above one of the area's few remaining un-milled coastal rainforests. Surrounded by a native bush reserve, every major room enjoys uninterrupted views across Veronica Channel to the Russell peninsula and as far as Black Rocks, Moturoa Island and beyond.

Design and Style
The two-level cedar clad lodge was built in 2004. The contemporary design is enriched by the extensive use of native timbers and a soft natural earthy colour scheme throughout which blends harmoniously with its surrounding environment.

Special Features
The upper-floor of the lodge features an expansive open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining areas, floor-to-ceiling windows and large decks to showcase the captivating views-of nothing but native bush, sea, and sky.

To provide a luxurious and relaxing environment from which to enjoy those therapeutic tranquil views, the lodge also features two central wood-burning fireplaces, rich dark-brown leather sofas, oriental rugs, traditional Maori weavings and artefacts. Four spacious guest bedrooms and an "infinity" plunge pool and surrounding deck are located on the lower floor.

Dining At The Lodge
The enjoyment of food, wine and congenial company are an integral part of the Bay of Islands Lodge experience.

Our cuisine could be perhaps best described as 'contemporary New Zealand', an innovative mix of rejuvenated traditional favourites, with some of the ingredients and inspirations drawn from European and Asian countries, prepared and served in a refreshing, down to earth, unpretentious way.

The emphasis is on the freshest and seasonally best - such as seafood caught locally and often on the day, spray free / organic vegetables and fruit from the market gardens of nearby Kerikeri, and free range / grass fed meat and poultry from the surrounding district.

Dinner
Dinners are optional, but highly recommended, one could almost say 'a must do'!

Dinners are 3-4 course affairs, accompanied by fine New Zealand and Australian wines. It's a set menu, designed around guest's preferences, with any dietary needs or likes readily taken into consideration. Dinner attire is smart-casual, with the meal served traditionally in a communal setting, enjoyed in the congenial company of other guests. Cost: NZ$95 per person inclusive of dinner wines.

Breakfast
Consisting of variety of cereals, compotes, fresh seasonal fruit, yoghurts, freshly squeezed orange and other juices, the best coffee from our Italian 'Saeco' espresso machine, a wide choice of teas, hot chocolate, and for the true continental - a selection of breads, cold meats and cheeses. As well as cooked favourites - both savoury and sweet - from the traditional bacon and eggs, omelettes of your choice and pancakes, to daily specials that may include eggs benedict, smoked fish cakes, nasi goreng, hash-browns... or you may have a favourite of your own. Continental and cooked breakfast is included in the tariff.

Picnic Lunches
Either 'gourmet-elaborate' or 'simple' picnic lunches are also available on request.
