About this hotel
Copthorne Hotel and Resort Bay of Islands commands a superb waterfront location in the heart of the Bay of Islands, with uninterrupted bay views surrounded by subtropical gardens. Adjacent to the historic Waitangi Treaty Grounds, the hotel is the perfect base for golf, some of the best big game fishing in the world, the wonder of the local native bush or to simply relax in a picturesque location. All 180 rooms have individual patios or balconies to enjoy the water or garden views, and taking inspiration from nature, have been designed to blend into the natural environment. Onsite facilities include a tennis court, free form lagoon style swimming pool, hot tub, massage studio, and Jimmy Cook's Kitchen Restaurant and Bar.
