✨ Take a 2-night stay at Orokawa Bay Retreat — recharge & reset

Sometimes two nights is all you need to hit pause and reconnect.

We’ve dropped our usual three-night minimum, so you can now escape to Orokawa Bay for a two-night getaway — perfect for a couples’ weekend, a few days with friends, or simply some quiet time before summer kicks into gear.

With the whole retreat to yourselves, you can make the weekend your own. 🌿

☀️ Relax on the Sundowner Deck
♨️ Soak in the hot tub with endless views
🥾 Take on an incredible nearby hike or bike the Hauraki Rail Trail
👨‍🍳 Indulge in a private chef experience
🍷 Or simply slow down, switch off and enjoy doing absolutely nothing.

There’s plenty to do — or not do — at Orokawa Bay Retreat.

The hot tub has been a firm favourite at the Retreat over these colder months!

Soaking in the tub with incredible views with a glass of bubbles and good friends - it doesn’t get much better than that 🥂

Il dolce far niente 🌿☀️

At Orokawa Bay Retreat, we know that everyone’s idea of the perfect escape looks a little different. For some guests, it’s lacing up the walking shoes, filling the day with adventure.

For others, it’s il dolce far niente — the Italian art of doing absolutely nothing. A slow breakfast, a good book, a soak in the hot tub, a glass of something lovely and nowhere to be. 🥂

And that’s the beauty of Orokawa Bay Retreat — you can do as much, or as little, as you like.

Over six years ago, we began an exciting new chapter when we became the owners of Orokawa Bay Retreat. 🌊

Since then, we’ve loved creating a place where guests can truly relax, reconnect with nature, and experience this incredible part of the coast. One of the best parts has been welcoming people from all around the world, sharing our favourite local walks, hidden gems, and adventures, and introducing them to our wonderful community. We love helping our guests discover why we find this place so special.

We hope you enjoy this little look back at the history of the Retreat and changes made over the past six years. 💚

One of the things we love most is exploring New Zealand ourselves. That's why we encourage our guests to get out and explore this beautiful part of New Zealand too—and one of our absolute favourite experiences is the Hauraki Rail Trail. 🚴

The breathtaking Karangahake Gorge is a true highlight, with towering cliffs, historic railway tunnels, swing bridges, and scenery that's unlike anywhere else in New Zealand. Whether you're an experienced cyclist or simply looking for a memorable day out with family or friends, it's an adventure you'll be talking about long after the ride is over. ⛰

Make it even more special by staying with us. After a day on the trail, return to luxurious accommodation overlooking the ocean, soak in your private hot tub, and unwind in complete comfort.
