Pacific Rendezvous WHANGAREI, NEW ZEALAND


Set atop a private headland along the Tutukaka Coast, Pacific Rendezvous offers families and travellers an unmatched base from which to explore one of the North Island’s most captivating regions. The Tutukaka Coast is known for its dramatic scenery and outdoor experiences, especially on and around the water. Just offshore lie the world-renowned Poor Knights Islands, among the world’s top dive destinations, offering spectacular underwater terrain, abundant marine life and historic wrecks for divers and snorkellers. Kayaking and paddleboarding are popular in the


sheltered bays, while charter fishing trips depart daily from Tutukaka Marina to explore the rich coastal waters. After a day at sea, guests can relax with dining in Tutukaka village, just a five-minute drive from the resort. For land-based exploration, there’s a network of


scenic walking tracks that showcase the region’s native bush, rugged coastline and panoramic views. A standout is the Matapouri Headland Track, which links Matapouri Bay with Whale Bay over approximately half a mile of path, offering


expansive ocean views and native forest sections. It typically takes about 40 minutes one way and can be extended into a loop with connecting trails. Back at Pacific Rendezvous, guests can unwind


within the spacious, well-maintained grounds or explore the resort’s two private beaches. Cool off in the heated pool on warm days, relax in the private spa pool or stay active with a game of tennis or table tennis. Evenings are ideal for gathering the family around the public barbecue areas for a flame- cooked meal, followed by stargazing under clear skies, far from city light pollution. A long-standing Kiwi favourite, Pacific


Rendezvous offers exceptional value, with a collection of self-contained villas designed for couples, families and extended stays. Blending the comfort of a classic Kiwi bach with the feel of a private resort, every villa has full kitchen facilities, private outdoor space and direct access to the resort’s gardens or beaches. This combination of self-sufficient accommodation and a stunning coastal setting ensures every stay is comfortable and unforgettable.
