Nautilus Resort Paihia, Bay of Islands Motel, North Island New Zealand

The Nautilus Resort / Motel is a luxury selection of accommodation apartments close to Waitangi on the edge of Paihia- the hub of the beautiful Bay of Islands in the Far North of New Zealand. Book your accommodation with us and you'll be at the heart of modern and historic Northland.
The modern history of New Zealand began right here. The first European settlers landed just a stone's throw from the Nautilus Resort. It's just a short walk to the world famous Treaty grounds, where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840.
Set in sub tropical gardens, fringed with palm trees and bordering the native bush covered hills, The Nautilus Resort is only 200 meters from the beautiful, sandy, Tii beach; a crescent of golden sand and sheltered, safe waters. Yet the Resort is only 1km from the centre of the village.
Wild life is a-plenty here; Parakeets, Herons, Kingfishers, Plovers, Quails and many other birds are regularly seen in and around the Nautilus. Kiwis shout out at night with their distinctive call.
If it is adventure and excitement you seek, look no farther than the Bay of Islands . Every conceivable activity is catered for from Paihia. From diving the Rainbow Warrior and the spectacular sub-tropical undersea world, to sailing, kayaking or flying above it; try quad-biking, trekking or parachuting. Take a more leisurely cruise around The Bay and watch the dolphins and whales. Visit the Northern most tip of New Zealand , Cape Reinga and be driven along 90 mile beach to get there. Whatever you desire can be found here in the winterless North, and where better to stay during your visit than in our spacious, luxurious and well appointed accommodation of apartments and studios.
