Northland, New Zealand
Four private boutique lodges designed for couples. Wild coastlines, outdoor hot tubs, and the kind of quiet that restores you.
Why Northland
Northland sits at the top of New Zealand's North Island — a long, sun-drenched peninsula of wild beaches, ancient kauri forests, and sheltered harbours. It's far enough from Auckland to feel like a true escape, close enough to reach in around three hours.
At Pouto Point on the Kaipara Harbour, and in Russell at the Bay of Islands, Henare operates four private lodges built specifically for couples seeking seclusion, natural beauty, and genuine comfort.
No resort crowds. No shared pools. Just you, the landscape, and a lodge that feels like it was made for this moment.
