Orongo Bay Homestead Details
ORONGO BAY HOMESTEAD is well-known as the First American Consulate in New Zealand, dating back to the 1860's. Today the impressive, fully-restored, two-storeyed wooden Homestead is an exclusive, historic country residence with fine wine and renowned bespoke cuisine reserved only for guests. Sequestered in 15 acres of lawns, native bush and certified organic gardens, it looks across the waters of New Zealand's subtropical Bay of Islands towards the Waitangi Treaty grounds. Having been judged in the top three lodges/boutique hotels in New Zealand (NZ Tourism Awards) the Homestead discreetly includes every modern facility. Accommodation is in three rooms beside the pond, each with a separate entrance from the gardens: the Teal Suite, named after the world's fourth rarest duck, the native Brown Teal or Pateke, that breeds on the pond; the very private waterside Retreat with heated terracotta floors, full free-splash ensuite and overwater decks; and the airy, lofty Pacific Room with its elevated treetop and wildlife views. Just across small lawn the Homestead itself has a high-ceiling guest lounge which leads to a large verandah opening onto the sweeping lawns and shade trees populated by songbirds. Full descriptions of the rooms are at http://www.thehomestead.co.nz/rooms.html LOCATION The Bay of Islands has long been the ocean, beach and island playground of New Zealand's north. Just over three hours' drive from Auckland, Russell is this area's historical heart. The township is small but boasts one of the country's best restaurants, the people are warm and welcoming, and rare birdlife thrives here. Orongo Bay Homestead sits on the rim of Russell, just a five-minute drive or taxi ride away, yet standing quietly apart.
