About this property

Clendon Lodge Studio - Waterfront property, tidal boat launching, EV charging.

Self contained 2 Bedroom studio on 11 acres with stream and riparian rites.
Peaceful location for relaxing, as a base for exploring the Bay of Islands, biking, boating and outdoor activities.
Studio has bathroom, living area, Smart TV and kitchenette. Can also be rented as an annex to the historic Clendon Lodge Homestead also on site.
Access is flat with heaps of space for cars and boat trailers.
Outdoor power for EV charging.
Tidal concrete launching ramp (High tide +/- 2 hours) and fish bench.
All tide boat launching available at Te Uenga about 5km away.
No boat? Some guests fish from the kayaks or at low tide walk out to fish from nearby rocks.

Swimming is fun in the stream at high tide and there is shallow swimming from the beach although its a long walk to get deep water. Good swimming in the bay at Jills Beach within walking distance, and about 15 minutes drive to Eliotts Bay on the East Coast for sand and surf.
Walk to the old Whangamumu Whaling station or even to Cape Brett.

In Russell about 15 minutes away (17 km) are cafes, restaurants, tours (e.g. Hole in the Rock), fishing charters, museum, vineyards and oyster farm. The local mini bus tour is highly recommended.

Further afield Paihia, Waitangi and Kerikeri offer history, shopping, vineyards and golf.

Your hosts live in nearby house on the property and can assist with baby sitting and meeting your needs.

Please bring your own beach towels, wet shoes and fishing rods.

Clendon Lodge, consisting of Studio, Historic Homestead and Lodge B and B is a stunning venue for marquee weddings and enquiries are welcome.

Although no washing machine in the Studio arrangements can be made with hosts.

Regrettably we cannot allow the cooking of curry as we have found it impossible to guarantee the removal of the smell for subsequent guests.
