Welcome to Henare New Zealand, a deeply personal vision brought to life. Born from a lifelong love of travel, a passion for adventure, and the unforgettable experiences gathered from exploring cultures around the world, our lodges were created to offer a sanctuary from the noise of the everyday.
Nestled in the breathtaking, secluded landscapes of Te Tai Tokerau, our lodges provide the ultimate escape for couples seeking connection and tranquility. From the rugged cliff edges of Pouto Point overlooking the vast expanse of the Kaipara Harbour, to the romantic, historic shores of Kororāreka in the Bay of Islands, each location has been chosen for its unique spirit and natural beauty. Here, you have the freedom to recharge in complete, uninterrupted comfort, or to step outside and immerse yourself in what this region has to offer. Exploring the rich history, native bush, and pristine moana that define our region.
As a Whanau run retreat, true manaakitanga – the Māori tradition of hospitality, generosity, and deep care for others, is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that special moments deserve extraordinary settings, and we take pride in offering attentive, personalised service to ensure you feel entirely at home. Every detail of our lodges has been thoughtfully curated with your romantic getaway in mind. Whether you are celebrating a milestone anniversary, a quiet weekend away, or a surprise proposal, Henare New Zealand offers a peaceful, intimate setting where you can simply relax, connect with the whenua, and create lasting memories together.
