It’s the perfect place to relax and connect with nature. A causeway links the island to the mainland, providing convenient vehicle access. It is a natural haven with a wide diversity of New Zealand plants and birds including the rare North Island Brown Kiwi. When you stay on the island you can self-guide to look for the kiwi in their natural habitat. Our staff will advise you of how to increase your chances of seeing them. During the day you can stroll the private beach, take a bush walk, explore the mangroves and look for birds. Please note because of the presence of Kiwi & the sensitive nature of the island, there is “No Pets, No Smoking and No Fires” on Aroha Island. Thank you. Bedroom configuration: Each bedroom can be configured with a king bed or two single beds. You can message your host to request the configuration that works for your stay. Special features of the property: 1) go on dusk or dawn walks to see the local kiwi 2) relax on a private beach 3) walk the private native bush tracks 4) pick fruit from the orchard Add ons are available from your host: If you wish to, take part in local environmental initiatives: discover the local bird and plant life, join the marine research team on the water, and more - all from the comfort and tranquillity of your eco-friendly accommodation, and while supporting conservation efforts.
