If there's one place in NZ you'll want to get out on the water, it's the Bay of Islands. With 144 subtropical islands along the beautiful east coast of NZ's far north, the water is warm, the scenery is glorious, and there's a huge amount to see and do.

Check out the Visit Bay of Islands site for a taste of the action.

Looking for fun things to do at the Bay of Islands? Well you've come to the right place! Whether it is Kayaking, Cruising or seeing Dolphins, we have it all

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at the Whangaroa Barn and while dogs aren't allowed on the St Paul's Rock track, there are plenty of dog-friendly walks. Our favourite: down the hill, along the harbour, and head to Clansman's Wharf to watch out for fish jumping and gannets diving.

We've been planting! The Barn's secluded trellised area — already a lovely spot to sit and eat outside when the weather cooperates — is now a proper garden. Big thanks to Gene Vose for his design, plant sourcing, and growing expertise. Come spring time, we should have a glossy green wall growing on that driftwood happening... can't wait.

Autumn at the Whangaroa Barn — still, misty mornings with raindrops on everything.

We're a bit excited to see more exploration of commercial coffee growing in Northland 🤎ྀིྀི☕︎ᝰ.ᐟ

Until the day when excellent local Arabica is grown right on our doorstep though, Barn guests have MAX coffee, roasted just down the road in the Bay of Islands. It's pretty damn good!

From glassy in the morning to shimmering in the afternoon, Whangaroa has one of the East coast's most sheltered, most beautiful, and most interesting harbours. The best places in NZ are a little off the beaten track and Whangaroa's a great example — it's a detour you won't regret.
