Hyecroft Lodge

Your Elevated Retreat at Hyecroft Lodge

Perched high on the hill at the end of a private right of way, Hyecroft Lodge offers something truly special – a serene escape where stunning panoramic views meet peaceful tranquillity, all just minutes from Whangarei’s doorstep. This is accommodation that elevates your experience in every sense of the word.

Set on the edge of expansive acreage containing a beautiful mixture of native bush, established gardens, and rolling pasture, Hyecroft sits atop ancient limestone caves, outcrops, and gullies that add a sense of geological wonder to your stay. The verdant native bush and grasslands create a natural sanctuary where you can genuinely escape the hassles of home and work, yet you’re only ten minutes from Whangarei’s city centre and close to the southern entrance – perfectly positioned for convenience without sacrificing peace.

Wake each morning to breathtaking views over Whangarei Harbour and beyond, then make your way to the main house dining room for your complimentary continental breakfast. There’s something magical about starting your day with such spectacular vistas stretching before you, making every morning feel like a special occasion.

Choose between the spacious Queen Suite with its separate lounge area and writing desk, or the comfortable Twin Studio with two king single beds – both offering excellent accommodation with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Each room features its own private entrance and tiled floors, creating a sense of independence and privacy. The ensuite bathrooms, well-equipped kitchenettes with refrigerator, microwave, kettle, and toaster, plus all the tableware and cutlery you need, mean you can be as self-sufficient or as relaxed as you wish.

Every room opens onto a private outdoor terrace where you can sit with a cup of tea or glass of wine, breathing in the fresh air and soaking up those magnificent views. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful touches throughout – comfortable lounge chairs and ottomans, smart TV, complimentary wi-fi, and even an ironing board and steam iron for those who need to look their best.

Hyecroft Lodge makes an ideal base for exploring Northland’s attractions, from the nearby beaches at Whangarei Heads and Tutukaka Coast to the cultural treasures of Whangarei itself. Or simply stay put and enjoy the tranquillity of this verdant hilltop haven – sometimes the best holiday is one where you simply slow down and appreciate the view.
