Paroa Bay occupies a dramatic peninsula setting in the Bay of Islands, a short distance from the historic township of Russell/Kororāreka.
Accommodation is contemporary and secluded, positioned among native bush, sheltered coves and the estate's vineyard, with expansive views across the bay and surrounding islands.
Dining centres around Sage Restaurant, whose one-hat menus draw on Northland seafood, local produce, ingredients from the estate gardens and wines from Paroa Bay Winery. Together, they create a stay that reflects the landscape and character of the Bay of Islands.
