Pomare Bay views from the deck

Watch yachts drift by and the sunset colour the bay from your private deck, nestled in lush native bush.

🛁

Outdoor bath — a dream experience

The outdoor bath takes roughly 15 minutes to fill. Bath bombs provided. Fill to two-thirds and settle in.

🏡

Dense bush setting, complete privacy

Wahapu Lodge is set in lush native bush on the Te Wahapu Peninsula with no close neighbours.

Russell town 10 minutes away

Historic Russell township, restaurants, the ferry to Paihia, and all the Bay of Islands has to offer.

Wahapu Lodge is nestled in lush bush, offering stunning views of Pomare Bay. Secluded and serene, it's the perfect romantic retreat — minimal, modern, and calming.

Curl up with a book, enjoy a board game, or relax on the deck, basking in the sun's warmth. Savour your afternoons with a glass of wine, listening to the tui birds, while yachts gracefully glide by.

"Our stay was nothing short of exceptional. The views over the water are breathtaking at sunrise and sunset — we found ourselves lingering on the deck every day."
