We arrived at Treghan Lodge intending to stay four nights, but had such a wonderful time that we ended up extending twice for a total of 10 nights! The lodges have been very thoughtfully designed to provide both maximum private and comfort, yet are located just a very short distance from all the conveniences and attractions of Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands. We found Northland to provide the perfect mix of interesting history and beautiful nature, and Treghan Lodge was the ideal base to discover it all. Throughout our stay, Anna and Murray were fantastic hosts who truly went above and beyond to tailor their recommendations to our specific interests, and even went so far as to select books from their impressive library for us to read during our stay! Even after two and a half months in New Zealand, Treghan remains our favorite stop of the trip, and we very much look forward to returning again one day.
