With the beach, sunrises, sunsets and the incredible night sky –  you’ll quickly grow to believe that this is one of the best places to escape to in New Zealand. Northlands west coast is often overlooked, making this remote destination that much more special.

Henare NZ was brought to life by someone who holds strong ties to the area, kickstarting this journey with immense love and appreciation for the area.
What now stands is an incredible experience that highlights the best of Northland’s west coast. Stargazing, horse riding and fishing. Incredible beaches, the Pouto Point lighthouse and stunning sunsets. What’s not to love!

Ready to indulge in utter comfort and relaxation? The Henare NZ cabins are beautifully appointed, with stunning bathrooms, practically designed spaces and calming touches. The large wooden decks give a natural flow from the cabin to the local surroundings. Soak in your private spa and enjoy the uninterrupted views. Stargaze and take a little longer than usual to drink your favourite evening drink. Ease into your morning with a sunrise over the Kaipara Harbour.

For an added bonus, Henare NZ is also pet friendly! Bring your fluffy other half along with you. Even horses are welcome if you plan to adventure on some self-guided horse treks.

Pouto Point and the Pouto Peninsula boast masses of sand dunes and sandy shores. Around 50 minutes south of Dargaville, this west coast oasis is a bit of a hidden treasure. The Pouto Point lighthouse sits exposed to the elements, where you can perch up on the sand dunes for an amazing view of the lighthouse and the horizon. This is the beach picnic spot you never knew existed!

You won’t find any neighbours out here. No massive buildings in sight. There’s not even a whisper of light pollution to be found at Pouto Point. Take in the peace and quiet and experience the undisturbed west coast. There’s something about taking time to soak in your surroundings that reminds you, you’re on holiday time.

If you’re one to think that all views are best enjoyed from a hot spa, you’ll settle right in at Henare NZ. Each cabin has a perfectly positioned spa on the private deck. Some of the best west coast horse treks are here too, so you can sneak some local horse riding into your Northland getaway.

One of the best inclusions at Henare NZ is the Kawasaki ATVs. Each cabin has full access to one of these off-roaders, ensuring that you can venture down to the beach and back with ease throughout your stay. The active relaxer can spend their time off adventuring, or those who would happily spend all day snoozing in the sun will also find paradise here. This experience can be whatever you want it to be.

If you’re impressed now, just watch this space – Henare NZ Russel is launching in January 2023.
