New Zealand is a country filled with such natural beauty, you hardly need to worry about where you stay – every view is scenic and breathtaking! However, to take your trip to the next level, make sure to include a stay at New Zealand’s latest luxury lodge – Helena Bay.

Located in the northeast corner of North Island, Helena Bay features nearly 2 miles of pristine coastline, four private beaches, and many little coves, nooks, and crannies for you to explore. This coastline in particular has been noted by National Geographic as one of the world’s best!

Helena Bay doesn’t rest on the merits of its location, however. The architecture and interior of the lodge is equally beautiful. Inspiration was taken from early European buildings in New Zealand and incorporated a mix of traditional techniques and modern materials.

Rooms have eclectic artwork and curios, so that wandering around the Main House is an activity in and of itself. Wander out to the heated pool overlooking the water for a relaxing afternoon, play a round of tennis, or treat yourself to a massage. Hike or bike through the trails that start right on property. Take a kayak or paddle-board out on the water, try your hand at fishing, or have a picnic packed to go for a day-long adventure. End your day with a culinary feast by a Michelin-starred chef and an outdoor bonfire.

Helena Bay Lodge has so much to offer on one of the most beautiful coastlines in the entire world. Don’t hesitate to stay here on your next trip to beautiful North Island, New Zealand.

Christine at Esplanade Travel planned our recent trip which found us traveling to four very different and fascinating regions in Chile. The trip was absolutely beautiful, memorable and so suited to our specific interests! We have had the pleasure of working multiple times with travel consultants at Esplanade Travel and they continue to amaze us with the itineraries they develop and their close working contacts in other countries that always result in worry-free travel for us. We tend to stay in multiple areas with multiple connections and with the expertise in planning at Esplanade all of our reservations, contacts, pick-ups and drop-offs occur seamlessly. Our travels started in Santiago before heading south to the Lakes District, further south to Torres del Paine in Patagonia, then west to Easter Island. All of the lodges we stayed in were so comfortable with gorgeous views, the guides were super knowledgeable about the cultural and natural history of every location we visited, and the food was fantastic! On Easter Island our native guide, Sabrina, was able to provide us with her intimate knowledge, passed down to her from her ancestors, of the history and culture of the Rapa Nui people. I highly recommend Esplanade Travel to everyone, and I guarantee we will be contacting them to assist us with our next great adventure!
