Welcome

Helvetia Lodge is a modified historic villa in the Bay of Islands; New Zealand's finest marine location. The lodge is ideal for travellers who prefer a quiet, natural environment, and accommodation with more ambiance than the average motel.

Located adjacent to a natural bush reserve, the lodge is still within 10 minutes walk of the local beach and the centre of Paihia with its shops, cafes, restaurants and wharf. The wharf is the centre for a wide range of aquatic activities and for a variety of boat cruises around the bay and its many islands. New Zealand's best scuba diving spots are also to be found in this region.

Take advantage of the many activities available in the beautiful Bay of Islands:

• Cruises around the bay
• Dolphin watching
• Scuba diving and snorkeling
• Fishing
• Forest and beach walks
• Kayaking
• Sailing
• Parasailing
• Wine trails
• Golf courses

Helvetia Lodge has 5 well-appointed, self-contained units. All units have their own kitchen facilities, bathroom and TV. The sleeping capacity and configuration varies from unit to unit. For more information see Apartments and Rates.
