About North Island

New Zealand’s North Island is home to breathtaking landscapes, beautiful beaches, an enthralling Maori culture and many of the country’s top wine-producing regions. With Art Deco B&Bs, remote fishing lodges and relaxed beach hotels, the island’s accommodation options are fantastic. From Auckland — NZ’s largest city — to Wellington, glitzy Waiheke Island and superb Hawke’s Bay, our selection of the best places to stay on the North Island is bursting with long-time favourites and hip new additions to the hotel scene.

Some of Our North Island Collections:

The country's largest and most multicultural city, Auckland is the ideal starting point for most first-time visitors. The wonders of Waiheke Island, the Bay of Islands and Kawau Island are within easy reach, perfect for outdoorsy enthusiasts, foodies and trendy holidaymakers. Venture further north for the secluded landscapes of Northland, where you’d find striking beaches, as well as opportunities to hike, mountain bike, horse ride and sail.

Towards the heart of the North Island, you'll discover the cultural and adventure hotspots of Lake Taupo and Rotorua. Head south-east to the vineyards of Hawke’s Bay, where architecture fans will be thrilled to explore the well-preserved Art Deco buildings which line Napier’s streets, and feast on food and wine. Waterfront Wellington, to the south, is New Zealand’s pint-sized capital. Brimming with cultural attractions, it’s a wonderful destination for families, couples or friends.

Whether you’re dreaming of world-class wines, luxury estates with championship golf courses or heritage guesthouses in lively neighbourhoods, our pick of the best places to stay on the North Island really do have it all!
