Dining & Gourmet
Whether you choose to cater for yourself in your residence’s state-of-the-art kitchen, or dine on bespoke menus crafted by expert chefs, expect ‘garden-to-plate’ dining that makes use of the property’s orchards, vegetable and herb gardens and free-range eggs, as well as the region’s exceptional meat and seafood. Possible dining destinations include outdoor terraces, courtyards, gardens and the jetty. Of course, wine is also a huge part of any stay here, and The Landings is home to its own sloping vineyard that produces award-winning, sustainable Rosé, Syrah, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay wines. Guided by the expert vineyard manager, you can visit The Landing wine cellar, taste wines from the vineyard and tour Marsden Estate Wines where The Landing Wines are made.
Luxury Beach
With a captivating coastal location, The Landing boasts six stunning private beaches. Safe for families, the quiet waters are also perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding, while The Landing's resident boat, Iti Rangi, is available for skippered fishing and sightseeing trips. What's more, the entire Bay of Islands is on your doorstep, a marine playground that offers some of the planet's best fishing, sailing, scuba diving, snorkelling and waterskiing.
Wildlife Encounters
The Landing's thousands of acres play host to a huge native bush, wetland and wildlife regeneration scheme, through which more than one million trees and shrubs have been planted so far. This restoration has also encouraged several rare and endangered bird species to settle in the area - including kiwi, pateke, paradise ducks and oyster catchers - making bird watching wonderful here, particularly the night time kiwi-spotting walks.
