Wharepuke Subtropical Accommodation  

Tucked into Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands, this stylish cottage escape sits minutes from the town centre. Walk to the historic Stone Store, Kerikeri Mission House and St James Anglican Church, or drive 20 minutes for dolphin watching and local wineries.

Five stylish cottages rest across 5 acres of an award-winning 'Garden of Significance.' Rooms are air-conditioned and comfy, with pillowtop beds, a kitchenette and a private balcony or terrace. Onsite art and a sculpture trail weave through the gardens, and the place runs printmaking courses and garden tours for guests.

Sip at the bar/lounge or wander to the on-site, award-winning cafe/restaurant. Complimentary wireless internet, a library, picnic and barbecue areas, free self-parking and an elevator make stays easy. The tour desk can book local excursions and transfers, and guests get free access to the sculpture trail and garden activities—wake up to garden views every morning.

Complimentary wireless internet, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage keep business needs covered.

An onsite restaurant/cafe—named Northland Cafe of the Year—serves local flavours and casual meals. Finish the day with a drink at the bar/lounge, or grab a picnic and grill in the BBQ area.
