Situated 18 km from Opua Forest, Te Awa Lodge offers an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi.

The lodge provides guests with a terrace, river views, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchenette with a fridge and a minibar, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. A patio with garden views is offered in all units. Our stay at Te Awa was the perfect welcome to New Zealand. Our hosts provided a personal experience for us in the Bay of Islands. The setting couldn’t have been more spectacular on the banks of the river, and our room was very comfortable and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool each afternoon, following a day of exploring, and watched the moon rise each evening from the expansive deck. Breakfasts were delicious and prepared us for a day of activity. We appreciated every recommendation provided by Martin and Joelson. They definitely set the bar for the rest of our time in New Zealand. If you have the chance to stay here, we couldn’t recommend it more highly!

We were walking distance or a short drive into town. Anna & Murray also supplied us with a book of everything to do in kerikeri / bay of islands (activities and restaurants). I could go on all day about how amazing our stay here was. I was very sad to have to leave. Recommend this stay 20/10
