The Reserve on Kowhai is a sustainable, predominantly plant-based boutique B&B in Te Haumi bay, hidden around the hill from the heart of the Bay of Islands. With only a two minute walk to the beach, you can grab a morning coffee and sit by the water, take a stroll around the headlands into town. Get ready to explore the beautiful bay we call home.

How to get to The Reserve on Kowhai

We are located in Te Haumi bay which is the first bay after the the big hill if you are coming from Whangarei or Auckland. When you see the ‘Welcome to the Bay of Islands’ sign you know you are close.
