Situated in a scenic bush reserve with no immediate neighbours House Guests are assured total privacy. Paihia the hub of the bay is 5 minutes by car, and Russell 10 minutes via the car ferry.
The brief to Bob Traviss, one of Northland's foremost architects, was to get as close to the water as possible and make the most of the views.
The result is a beautiful, contemporary four-level structure set on a promontory with little visible land below, giving the appearance the building (an architectural, engineering and construction triumph) is sitting on the water. The uninterrupted 220 degrees water views from the lodge are spectacular, looking across to Opua harbour, Waikere, Okiato and further out the bay towards Russell, Paihia and Waitangi.
