Driftwood, elegant bach accommodation for two.

Driftwood is a private 15 acre waterfront vineyard in the heart of the Bay of Islands. It is located on the prestigious Purerua Peninsular with views from the Cavalli Islands to Russell. Kerikeri and its' vibrant cafe scene is only 15 minutes away.Kauri Cliffs and world class golf is a short drive.

The charm of Driftwood is it's beauty and simplicity, offering guests staying in "the bach" or " the hammock " stunning beachy chic accommodation with a breathtaking seaview.

We are passionate about sharing our piece of paradise, you can fish, dive, swim, horseride ,make pizzas on the shoreline or just relax with a good book!

Enjoy our famous "honour vineyard" both cottages have a generous supply of wine, just leave the money in the visitors book.

Long drive......? If grabbing the rod to catch an snapper off the beach is looking like hard work, you can order a wonderful platter of seasonal fare and freshly caught seafood, or a bowl of our fesh seafood chowder either will be waiting for you at the bach or the hammock with a bottle of wine and homemade rosemary foccacia.

We love sharing the natural beauty of Driftwood and reviving the proper Kiwi bach holiday..but just for two ( put up bed for smalls available)It is important to us to be affordable for fellow travellers.

"This is the perfect place for a romantic get away! We'd highly recommend it! Fantastic!"

"Everything that we needed, surpassed expectations. Well be back again!"

"We had a wonderful break in this piece of paradise. A beautiful bach which is cosy and inviting with everything you would need to be comfortable. The scenery is awesome, I wish I could paint! Being able to have my dog to stay was a real bonus because she is my constant companion, she loved it! I hope to be back one day with more of my family who would love the cool little cabins on the beach below. They are so awesome!"

"I almost don't want to say anything as this place is so good it is worth keeping a secret! Perfect for a quiet or romantic weekend away, we loved the privacy and the bach itself was beautiful. We can't wait to escape the kids and go back again!"

"A relaxing, romantic escape in the NZ countryside! Sweeping views of Bay of Islands. Food shopping at fantastic Farmers Markets & Wineries in the area. Masses of bird life- including a pair of Kiwis! Access to local beach. Perfect holiday in stunning location! Driftwood is a truly gorgeous batch with great sense of design & comfort- perfect for grown ups. Was equipped with everything we needed. Very helpful & hospitable host. Absolutely loved it- was one of the highlights of our holiday to NZ".

" We thought we wanted to fish and dive and make pizzas on the beach, but we couldn't drag ourselves away from the view and all the wonderful touches that make Driftwood so special. Don't plan on wanting to do too much if you stay here ! "
