Napia Bay Lodge - Where Coastal Grandeur Meets Bespoke Hospitality.

Hidden above the tranquil waters of Te Puna Inlet, just 11km from Kerikeri, Napia Bay Lodge is a private estate unlike any other. Nestled within 37 hectares of native bush and rolling farmland, this exclusive luxury retreat offers serene waterfront access, two private boat launches, and expansive views across the Kerikeri Inlet - where the interplay of land and water creates a sense of sheltered elegance.

A 2km concrete driveway winds through the landscape, passing the private helipad, arriving at a majestic, north-facing residence inspired by the timeless proportions of a grand American manor. Inside, seven beautifully appointed bedrooms offer comfort and serenity. Elegantly styled with impressive, mounted world record hunting trophies and curated local New Zealand artworks, the home evokes both sophistication and heritage. 

With a chef’s kitchen leading onto an elegant dining room, two formal lounges, each with a large fireplace and generous seating arrangements, and a sweeping billiard room with full bar & lounge area with 85” smart TV, the estate is made for entertaining in style.

 At the heart of it all, a spacious outdoor entertainment area overlooks the tranquil inlet, featuring outdoor heating as well as an oversized outdoor fireplace for the cooler evenings, a top of the range BBQ & smoker for outdoor entertaining, heated infinity pool with detached spa, and private sauna all framed by the sounds of native birdsong & the call of Kiwis in the surrounding bush creating an unforgettable experience. As the sun sets, unwind beside the outdoor fireplace to toast marshmallows, sip wine, and soak up the atmosphere.

The luxuriously appointed master suite is a private sanctuary, offering magnificent views over the inlet and every comfort expected of a premier coastal retreat. A super-king bed anchors the space, while a private balcony overlooks the pool and spa terrace - the perfect perch for a sunrise coffee or an evening nightcap beneath the stars. Thoughtfully outfitted with tea and coffee facilities and a mini fridge, the suite ensures both convenience and privacy. The spacious ensuite bathroom is pure indulgence, featuring a freestanding bath with a view, a large walk-in shower, and a his and hers vanity - all designed to elevate your stay in effortless style.

The additional six beautifully appointed bedrooms offer thoughtful flexibility and understated luxury:

• Bedroom Two features a super-king bed, while Bedroom Three offers a queen bed. These rooms are located upstairs & share a generous, well-styled bathroom with shower.
• Bedrooms Four and Bedroom Five, located upstairs, each offer queen beds and share a spacious bathroom, making them ideal for couples or singles.
• Bedroom Six, downstairs, features a queen bed and enjoys its own bathroom.
• Bedroom Seven, the poolside cabana, is a standalone suite with queen bed, ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, sofa, dining area, and its own barbecue and outdoor furniture - perfect for guests seeking privacy and independence in a poolside oasis.

Whatever your bedroom preferences, you will still be the only guests staying at Napia Bay Lodge and will have exclusive use of the property & amenities.
