Perhaps New Zealand's most exclusive and beautiful gated estate, The Landings providing the utmost in luxury and privacy.
The Landing encompasses four superb residences – the Cooper Residence, the Gabriel Residence, the Vineyard Villa, and the Boathouse – all offering luxury, private villa style accommodation and bespoke service in unparalleled surroundings. Situated in the Bay of Islands, the residences sit within a one thousand acre landscape rich with history and blessed with spectacular scenery. The Landing offers numerous on-site activities and allows for exploration of six private beaches, the eponymous vineyard and native bush and bird sanctuaries. Enjoy exceptional food and wine, with personal chefs available to provide delicious tailored meals at the Boathouse.


Simple yet elegant, the Boathouse captures the spirit of the quintessential New Zealand holiday, lounging in the sun and spending long days on the water. Enjoy the sun loungers with the bay at your feet; a beachside outdoor fireplace and pizza oven; and even a basketball court. With just two bedrooms and one bathroom, the Boathouse is ideal for families, or can be added to a booking at one of the other residences to serve as a daytime pavilion or extra accommodation.
Also hidden away on the estate is a population of Kiwis which can be seen on an evening spotlighting tour.

You are absolutely magnificent!"

many many many thanks!!!!!!"

Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!"
