About this hotel
Cliff Edge by the Sea is situated at Port Opua, the Bay of Islands main Harbour and Marina, only 5 minutes from Paihia, and 10 minutes from Russell. Sitting on top of a promontory above Veronica Channel, the lodge is surrounded by a native bush reserve - and with no immediate neighbours house guests are assured total privacy. Cliff Edge by the Sea provides a unique accommodation experience in the Bay of Islands, combining the warmth and comfort of a private residence with the sophistication of a boutique hotel. The unparalleled water views from virtually every room are magnificent.
