Property Details

Busby Manor, in New Zealand’s historic Bay of Islands, is located on the coast of the picturesque seaside town of Paihia. The comfortable, self-contained motel-style rooms are a five-minute scenic walk along the stunning coastline to the heart of the town’s tempting restaurants and cafes, quaint boutiques and craft shops and marina complex.
The sheltered sandy beaches are ideal for swimming and the grassy banks are conducive to relaxation. The fishing is excellent. Rent a mountain bike and discover the natural beauty of the ancient kauri forests or swim with dolphins. Unforgettable! Spectacular glowworm caves and golf courses are nearby. Get fresh local produce at the farmers’ market, wine from the cellar doors and cheese and chocolate from the producers as you head home to New Zealand’s oldest and second oldest homes. Returning to the resort loaded with treats, you’ll likely be ready to lounge by the pool with a good book and a cold drink, or simply kick back and enjoy the ocean views.

The geothermal hot pools are a must-see and Waitangi is more than just the site of the 1840 Treaty signing; it also has beautiful gardens and breathtaking views. Later, relax in the guest lounge with a coffee and plan tomorrow’s exciting adventure.

For a holiday that gives you a taste of everything, it has to be Busby Manor.
