Hardings

Hardings' Aotearoa Lodge will make your visit to the special Bay of Islands an unforgettable experience.

Hardings' Aotearoa Lodge offers fine accommodation in a stunning park-like setting, where calmness and serenity are all around.

Located at Orongo Bay, in 7 acres of tranquil countryside on the beautiful Russell peninsula, we are surrounded by a conservation reserve - with many rare and protected species of bird life. Across the bay is the famous Waitangi Treaty Grounds.

Our lodge is only a few minutes from Russell, and a short ferry ride from Paihia, providing a gateway to the many activities on offer in the Bay of Islands.

There are loads of things to do and see around the Bay of Islands - just be sure to allow plenty of time to relax and enjoy the blue skies, azure seas and beautiful beaches.
