Luxury Holidays At Helena Bay Lodge

Set amidst two miles of pristine coastline and four private beaches, Helena Bay Lodge is a blissfully intimate retreat. With stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, the huge estate is an ideal base to enjoy the unspoilt nature of New Zealand, in a setting of pure luxury. Built with modern materials, the building has fragments of ancient coral and crustacean shells captured within the stone, carefully created as part of the magnificent coastline. The spacious property hosts only five couples for an intimate and tranquil escape. An exquisite fusion of Maori and European style, the lodge is elegantly designed and adorned with eclectic art collected from the owner’s world travels, complimenting the lavish property.

The outdoor firepit and communal barbecue area offer the perfect spot from which to enjoy the sunset, whilst the days can be spent relaxing on the private beaches with a picnic, soaking up the sun on the poolside terrace or taking advantage of the array of activities provided that ensure a fulfilling and unforgettable visit to New Zealand.

Dining & Gourmet

Helena Bay’s Head Chef Michele Martino hails from Michelin starred ‘Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890’, in southern Italy, bringing an exquisite fine dining experience to New Zealand’s Northland. Offering an ‘estate to plate’ philosophy, the daily menus celebrate the organic ingredients of Helena Bay: the fruit, vegetables and herbs are homegrown, whilst the meat is sourced from the on-site farm, creating fresh gourmet dishes. The outstanding wine cellar houses over 2000 bottles of carefully selected New Zealand wine, which served by the Wine Manager, are the perfect companions to this fine dining experience. A choice of venue creates unique culinary events- guests can choose from glass fronted dining areas with stunning views, the beautiful terrace, candlelit meals by log fires or picnic on the private beaches.
