Ara Roa Unique Accommodation, Whangarei Heads

Welcome. Ara Roa Unique Accommodation is a collection of very distinctive accommodation properties located on Northlands glorious east coast, near the city of Whangarei. Here you will discover beaches, coves, forests, estuaries, and native flora and fauna including Kiwi (the bird that is)…. Hike, kayak, swim, fish, dive, walk and discover or just relax in comfort, style and privacy.

Our opinion, and that of many of our guests, is that travellers wishing to explore less exploited destinations will find the best of Northland here.

You choose - from your stylish New Zealand holiday home, The Bach - to the luxury of The Guest House – "your world away from it all", or the Cliffhouse – built in such a spectacular coastal setting that it continues to amaze visitors from all over the world.

Our range of self contained and serviced properties can suit many different purposes such as family vacations, romantic hideaway, business retreat, honeymoon, utilise as a clean and stylish base from which to explore the region, or simply rest and re-charge in your wonderful surroundings.

At Ara Roa we take conservation and caring for the environment seriously - please read about our sustainability and conservation efforts.

"Hi Susanne. We stayed in your lovely guest house up the hill last March and it was the high point of our visit to your beautiful country, if not our whole trip, as we continued on to south island then Sydney and Singapore. South island is stunning and mountainous but if we had to choose anywhere on the planet it would be where you are. We have so many nice memories. It was lovely meeting you and we hope to return. Kind regards John & Helen, UK."
