Reset Retreat is an eco-retreat nestled away on 25 acres of private, native forest filled with Northland Brown Kiwis, glow worms, freshwater springs, Rurus, and resident native birds.
We are right on the Twin Coast Cycle Trail and have access to several kilometers of private hiking trails that are yours to explore.
You will have your own private guest wing and balcony with gorgeous views over this hidden valley.
At night, you can sit by the fire and take in the stars, glow worms and kiwi calls. By day, you can explore the cycle trail and all the awesome local tourism Northland has on offer.
You will have your own covered balcony and outdoor cooking space (pictured), your own entry and room (pictured), and private ensuite with shower.
We have worked hard as Kaitiaki of this land over the last three years, working alongside the Northland Council to protect the kiwis, forest and animals here. As a result (alongside Kiwis) you can also see Titiwai/glow worms, Kererū, Tui, Tomtits, we have spotted longtailed bats outside our house on dusk, Ruru, Riroriro, Cave and Tree Wetas, the rare and gorgeous, large, green Puriri Moths, Piwakawakas, Peacocks, and a host of other native and non-native animals, insects and plants.
Reset Retreat is fully off-grid – that means our power comes from the sun, our water comes from the rain, our internet comes from Starlink satellites and our heat comes from our fireplace (with a heat transfer system that disperses the heat throughout the house).

We had a great camping stay at Lekker Stay, thanks Magda!
The site is well located ons the intersection of two main roads within Whangarei Heads, close to the shops. The site had all the amenities we needed for camping comfortably. The hosts and their two dogs were very friendly!
Recommend Magda’s place to anyone else and will be staying there again in the future.

1 night at Twin Coast Cycle Trail Nature Lodge
Unreal spot to stay. Heaps of wild life and very peaceful. Went down through a forest walk and watched the sunset on a hill and found glow worms in the forest 2 minutes away from the room. Very tidy rooms and accommodating to all needs. Highly recommend.
