The Pad has all the conveniences of home.
Approaching the property, the soothing sound of waves welcomes you, and the tastefully decorated living space

The spacious terrace is the heart of this retreat, where you can enjoy your coffee or a cocktail while feeling the briny embrace of the sea breeze and watching the mesmerizing sunset.
Nestled near a private sandy beach, this casually chic vacation home is not just a destination but an experience that combines nature's beauty with the allure of the teal cove.
The Pad at Driftwood, one of three holiday cottages, shares 120 acres of a stunning private peninsula, sandy coves, and native bush with our family home, creating an intimate and nostalgic getaway in beautiful New Zealand.

Is it better to travel than to arrive? Robert Louis Stephenson thought so! Your journey to Driftwood starts with a pitstop in Kerikeri to provision for your visit - trust us, you won't want to pop into town once you arrive.
Next, journey through some of New Zealand's most breathtaking coastal farmland. The last 15 minutes is unsealed but you do not need a 4WD to get here. Take it slow and enjoy the view. Your adventure starts here.
We love being out on the water and have safe moorings and a ramp at Driftwood. We encourage you to bring your boat and explore. Russell is just 10 minutes blat across the bay for dinner at the famous Duke of Marlborough hotel or be at the Black Rocks in minutes.
