Truly, this is a beautiful, incredible Lodge sitting in the most unique location. Real WOW factor here. It has a beach on both sides, one of those being world famous Oke Bay.
You'll love the all day sun and from the front deck, sweeping views of the entrance to the Bay of Islands! Huge deck at the back for entertaining. Large lawn area for playing.
Dolphins often come into Oke Bay and many a visitor to Oke Bay Lodge has swum with them.
If you are into walking you won't be disappointed. There are many interesting walks: old whaling station, Kauri forest, sunken ship wreck, and many other shorter walks in and around Rawhiti. Once you are there, and you settle in, believe me, you won't want to go anywhere else! But if you do...
