Experience Spectacular Clifftop Luxury at Pacific Rendezvous
Welcome to Pacific Rendezvous, a spectacular clifftop resort set atop a secluded headland overlooking the stunning Poor Knights Islands and Tutukaka harbour. This breathtaking property offers pure and simple stunning beauty – not glitz and glamour, but genuine serenity and peace that will leave you speechless. Just 30 minutes from Whangārei city centre and a mere five-minute drive to Tutukaka harbour, this hidden gem delivers the perfect escape where relaxation meets adventure in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful coastal locations.
The location truly is to die for. Perched high on dramatic cliffs, every villa offers mesmerising 260-degree views of the bay, Poor Knights Islands, and the sparkling Pacific Ocean. Watch spectacular sunrises from your private deck, observe storms rolling in across the ocean, or simply lose hours gazing at the ever-changing seascape. The property includes two private beaches – Harbour Beach and Ocean Beach – both within easy walking distance and perfect for exploring without the crowds you’d find at more touristy destinations. This is paradise found, where Hawaii’s beauty meets New Zealand’s uncrowded perfection.
Pacific Rendezvous offers a superb range of fully self-contained villas to suit every group size and need. Choose from cosy studios perfect for couples, spacious one-bedroom apartments, comfortable two-bedroom units ideal for families, or impressive three-bedroom superior villas that can accommodate larger groups. Every villa is spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and exceptionally well-equipped with modern facilities. The big spacious kitchens feature full-sized ovens and stovetops, full-sized fridge freezers, and everything needed to cook proper meals, whilst the comfortable living areas provide the perfect space to relax and soak in those incredible ocean views through large sliding doors or from private balconies.
Managed by the truly amazing Ian and Sue, who provide exceptional hospitality and local knowledge, Pacific Rendezvous ensures every guest feels welcome and well-cared for. The friendly team offers great local suggestions, detailed area information, and is always ready to help make your stay wonderful. The on-site convenience store – like a well-stocked campground shop – sells snacks, beverages, beach towels for hire, and even serves proper barista coffee, ensuring you have everything you need without leaving the resort.
The resort facilities are outstanding and perfect for families with young kids or anyone seeking active relaxation. Take a refreshing dip in the inviting heated saltwater swimming pool with its spectacular ocean views, soak in the private spa pool, play a game of tennis on the well-maintained court, enjoy pétanque or pitch and putt, fire up the BBQ areas for outdoor dining, challenge family members in the games room, or let the children play safely in the playground whilst you relax. The beautifully landscaped grounds are immaculately maintained, providing plenty of space for throwing a ball around or simply enjoying the stunning surroundings.
Adventure is right on your doorstep. Tutukaka harbour – just five minutes away – is the gateway to world-class diving at the Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve, with dive boats, fishing charters, and kayaks leaving daily to explore this underwater paradise. Numerous walking tracks await, including nearby Whale Bay and Matapouri Bay hikes, or explore the private beaches exclusive to resort guests. Whether you’re diving, fishing, kayaking, hiking, or simply seeking quiet relaxation with eye-popping views, Pacific Rendezvous delivers a treat that’s worth the trip to New Zealand. This is a must-stay destination where stunning beauty, serene atmosphere, excellent facilities, and genuine Kiwi hospitality combine to create an unforgettable coastal escape.
