The Landing Residences, located in the picturesque Bay of Islands and situated on over 1,000 acres, offers four private luxury accommodations, available individually for intimate getaways, or together for groups and corporate events. The Landing stands on some of New Zealand’s most historically significant land and has been developed with the blessing and contribution of the local Kiwi (Maori tribes). The property is steeped in history and has been developed to enhance and protect the archaeological registered sites, six private beaches, Kiwi habitat and native plants. It also has an award-winning vineyard on site, the largest in Northland.

Here you’ll find the finest luxury accommodation, a small group of beautifully appointed holiday houses: The two bedroom Boathouse, three bedroom Vineyard Villa, four bedroom Gabriel Residence and exquisite Cooper Residence which accommodates up to 12 guests.

Offering superb hospitality, exceptional dining experiences, award winning wine and a range of remarkable activities to choose from, The Landing Residences promise you privacy, total flexibility and the finest personal service.

Taking its name from its unique location, the Vineyard Villa is tucked quietly amongst The Landing’s established vines.

An entertainer’s haven or a romantic’s escape, the house features three bedrooms and three separate entertaining areas.

Enjoying expansive views over the wetland valley and out into Wairoa bay, the living quarters offer an open and welcoming space, perfect for entertaining. At the front of the house, a covered terrace provides year-round outdoor dining, while a sheltered courtyard to the west offers sunset views and an inviting open-air fire.

With two king bedrooms and a master suite, the Vineyard Villa sleeps six people comfortably.

Designed by award-winning Nat Cheshire of Cheshire Architects, the Vineyard Villa is a sanctuary you can make your own.

On the seaward side, the open kitchen and generous living quarters soak in the morning sun. Glass walls slide away behind stonework to transform the entire pavilion into an outdoor room, a sheltered extension of its landscape.

Nestled into the vineyard side, the bedroom suites are enfolded by warm timbers and soft plaster, offering an intimate escape.

Understated modern furnishings have been carefully selected to match the villa’s calm aesthetic and work alongside the dark wood and stone materials that run throughout the house.
