Driftwood Seaside Escapes offers a collection of individually styled, self-contained holiday homes surrounded by native bush, rolling pasture and panoramic coastal scenery. Guests can choose from intimate accommodation for two through to larger cottages and the Homestead, making Driftwood suitable for couples, families and groups.

Days here can be as relaxed or adventurous as you choose. Wander down to the private sandy cove, explore tracks through the property, listen for kiwi after dark or simply settle in and enjoy the views and birdsong. Guests are also welcome to gather seasonal produce and fresh herbs from the organic garden.

Those bringing a boat can make use of the property’s boat ramp and moorings, with easy access to fishing, diving and the waters of the Bay of Islands. Boutique private sites are also available for guests travelling in fully self-contained motorhomes.

With its waterfront lawn, private beach and rustic 1950s boatshed, Driftwood also provides a memorable setting for weddings, elopements and private celebrations. Its peaceful location feels wonderfully removed from the outside world, while Kerikeri’s cafés, markets, vineyards, galleries and shops remain within a scenic 30-minute drive.

Driftwood is coastal Northland at its most relaxed — barefoot, beautiful and just a little bit luxurious.
