Why we recommend Helena Bay Lodge
Hosting just five couples (or one private party), Helena Bay Lodge in the northeast corner of New Zealand’s North Island is a delightfully intimate and idiosyncratic stay. The inspiration for the buildings came from an internationally curated collection of architecture, and enormous care has been taken to ensure that the designs are ageless. Guests will enjoy exploring the main house which comes with an impressive assortment of artwork from the owner’s private collection – including rare Miro prints.
