Cosy 1-bedroom villas in Eco-Wellness Village in Kerikeri, Bay of Islands

Villa Morepork, Villa Kiwi and Villa Heron are cozy 1-bedroom bungalows, which are fully furnished and self-contained within the organic permaculture Ora Ora Eco Wellness Resort. Suitable for one or two persons who appreciate a peaceful and ecologically responsible life. It's an ideal setting for a well deserved sabbatical or time-out.

Owners Inge & Rolf welcome all guests to participate in the resort life (incl. occasional meals) and subtropical vegetable garden as well as in communal activities (i.e. Transition Towns Kerikeri) as much as is wanted. It's a great way to get to know people in unfamiliar surroundings. Obviously, privacy is granted if preferred.

Sauna, spa bath, massages, homeopathic consultation and other health treatments are available at the Wellness Centre to provide a maximum of relaxation and enjoyment. You can also learn to change your diet to improve your well-being.

At Ora Ora we aim for the smallest possible footprint without much of an impact on comfort and luxury: solar hot water heater, photovoltaic panels with grid connection to produce about 1/3 of electricity consumed, waste minimization, recycling, energy saving lamps, no chemical cleaning products, natural insulation, rainwater harvest with excellent filtration and wastewater treatment to irrigate the gardens, large variety of vegetables, fruit and nuts in organic gardens, used vegetable oil to fuel the car, etc.

Our website offers lots of information about the numerous attractions of Kerikeri, Bay of Islands and Northland, and we can recommend many of the regional attractions we have experienced ourselves.

Kerikeri town offers all we need, including shops, restaurants, vineyards, airport (40 minutes to Auckland), library, cultural centre, historical buildings, nature reserves, tracks, golf course, polytechnic, flying school, and lots of other useful opportunities.

Ora Ora Resort is surrounded by the historic Kerikeri River Nature Reserve with New Zealand's oldest wooden and stone buildings across the river. There is a direct access to the popular Rainbow Falls Track (one hour one way) to the 26m Rainbow Falls through "Lord-of-the-Rings" like forest.

Whether you are looking for a sabbatical place to recharge, relax, recuperate, re-link with interesting people, research the popular Bay of Islands and Far North, a private little villa at Ora Ora is ideal location for 2 months or longer at an affordable price.

If you don't have so much time available, don't hesitate to contact us for a different deal: we still have 2 fully serviced villas available.

About Originating from Germany, we literally came down to earth in the sub-tropical northern New Zealand after many years of corporate life in Asia. In Kerikeri we created a 4-star organic eco-wellness resort on permaculture basis with outstanding service. Guests usually leave as friends. We now gradually change the resort into a little "eco-village" in private villas, where inhabitants can enjoy a peaceful life and/or engage with us and the community in all aspects to make this a better world.

I'm just back from a 2 month Writing Retreat at Ora Ora. This is the perfect place for writers or anyone wanting comfy, quiet surroundings. My villa had a big warm bed, kitchenette, modern bathroom, spacious living room with views over the garden. Great walks through the forest or along the river just out the back gate. Hosts, Inge & Rolf, looked after me SO well. I spent long, productive days writing and could not be happier with what I achieved. Highly recommended.
