Kai Iwi Country Cottages

Kai Iwi Country Cottages are five fully-furnished self-contained cottages in a beautiful garden setting suitable for small and large groups.

They are only a short distance from the magnificent sparkling turquoise waters and pristine white silica sands of the Kai Iwi lakes - an excellent place to experience the best freshwater fishing Northland has to offer and some of the best winter fishing available anywhere in New Zealand.
