Bird-Watching

Bird Watching has taken the world by storm. Pawhaoa Bay Lodge on the edge of the Bay of Islands is uniquely situated for you to explore the peninsula that draws so much bird life and capture some of New Zealand's rarest and most cherished birds in their natural habitat.

Pawhaoa Bay Lodge being situated on the beach front and immediately adjacent to a large Department of Conservation Reserve provides a special environment for keen birdwatchers to see at close proximity many of our native, shoreline and sea water birds.

Quite a few can be seen in our garden without moving from your deck!

We can assist you with advice and excellent reference books for those keen to sight and identify the birds we have in our vicinity.

These birds are frequently seen on, or near, Pawhaoa Bay Lodge at most times of the year.
