The Landing

Four exclusive properties in a private coastal haven

Hidden away in the waters of the Bay of Islands, The Landing is set in one of the most historically and culturally significant places in New Zealand. With six private beaches, verdant hills and oceans stretching off towards the horizon, this private residence is a haven of tranquility amongst coastal wilderness.

The four beautifully appointed houses focus on being distinctly private and exclusive spaces, individually tailored to their idyllic surroundings and designed to be environmentally friendly by an award-winning architect. Guests can choose from The Boathouse, the Cooper Residence, the Vineyard Villa and the Gabriel Residence. Seaside panoramas and private landscaped gardens accompany each lodge. Chefs use local produce in their outstanding menus while pairing dishes with superb regional wines grown at The Landing’s own vineyard.

Walk down to one of the various beaches to soak up gorgeous New Zealand sun in privacy or take out the kayaks, paddleboards or mountain bikes available to guests to discover more of this stunning region. Work on your forehand on the tennis court, let off some steam in the sauna or drift away under the instruction of a yoga or Pilates instructor. Kauri Cliffs, an internationally-renowned golf course, is also a short helicopter trip away.
