Copthorne Hotel and Resort Bay of Islands

On the waterfront in Waitangi, in the heart of the Bay of Islands. Steps from Te Ti Bay and a short drive to Paihia Wharf and Paihia Beach, with the historic Waitangi Treaty Grounds on your doorstep. A family-friendly, beachfront base for fishing, golf and native-bush walks.

Guest rooms open onto private patios or balconies with bay or subtropical garden views. Interiors take cues from the coast and native bush for a calm, natural vibe. Rooms include modern basics like refrigerators, LCD TVs and en-suite bathrooms — a serene escape after a day on the water.

Two outdoor pools including a free-form lagoon-style pool and a spa pool, plus a massage studio and on-site spa services. Tennis court, library, picnic and BBQ areas, kids' playrooms and a tour desk for booking fishing, golf and sightseeing adventures. Free on-site parking, a bar/lounge for evenings — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and watch the boats from your balcony.

Conference space and meeting rooms paired with complimentary Wi‑Fi/high-speed internet. Free self-parking, dry cleaning and laundry, luggage storage and a concierge for event and wedding assistance.

On-site restaurant, café and bar serve breakfast and evening drinks with waterside views. Buffet breakfast is available daily (6:30–10:00, fee applies), making it easy to fuel up before heading out to explore the Bay of Islands.
