A rare offering in the Bay of Islands, Puketotara Lodge is a legacy holding of 11.82 hectares (more or less), where established flora and fauna, gentle pasture and a meandering river combine with timeless, classical architecture, just five minutes from Kerikeri and superbly positioned for privacy and convenience.
The lifestyle on offer is exceptional. A private 9-hole golf course, an outstanding example of a Will Bowden design, features a driving range that cleverly doubles as an airstrip, complete with a hangar, allowing guests to arrive by air and step straight into the experience. The Puketotara River winds through the property and is well regarded for trout and whitebait, creating enticing fly-fishing potential and seasonal river enjoyment. A boutique vineyard, olive grove, and productive orchards complete a setting that is both beautiful and rewarding.
At the heart of the estate sits the European-inspired lodge: generous in scale yet warm and inviting, with exposed timber beams and an enduring sense of character. Configured as five bedrooms and five bathrooms, it has operated successfully as a luxury B&B with an enviable reputation and strong word-of-mouth following, while offering clear scope to further elevate the business if desired. Outdoor living is equally compelling, featuring an open fire, pizza oven and spa pool. Further information is available at www.puketotaralodge.co.nz.
Complementing the lodge is a charming two-bedroom cottage with its own kitchen and bathroom, perfectly suited to honeymooners, wedding parties and holiday guests, or as an income-producing accommodation option. Also on site is a refurbished manager’s quarters, offering further flexibility as staff housing or additional guest accommodation.
Practical infrastructure is well catered for, with a substantial three-bay implement shed and the equipment required to work the land remaining with the new owners.
Whether acquired by a syndicate seeking an extraordinary retreat or secured as an enduring family estate, Puketotara Lodge is seldom offered and a privilege to present to the market.
