The river-side Homestead Waitangi
Just two safe and spacious private suites with balconies overlooking our lawns running down to the historic, meandering Waitangi River
All the hospitality and professional attention that brought thousands of guests and industry accolades to Orongo Bay Homestead over a quarter of a century now infuses this riverside lodge with warmth and welcome.
Blackadder and TimTam (our alpacas), free-ranging hens, two adorable pussycats, gourmet cuisine and our olive grove all await your discovery and delight. Birdsong, peace and privacy invite you to the perfect sustainable sanctuary for all seasons.
Opening specials start this October, so for details:
Rooms are sanitised prior to arrival.
Sunset riverside patters and reserve wines by the glass are a special treat.
Your hosts: Rev Chris Swannell (licensed marriage celebrant) and food/wine writer Michael Hooper
