Drift Bay Private Villa, one of the Luxury Villas of NZ’s spectacular Queenstown properties, was chosen as the “home” and venue for a very special week long celebration earlier this year.

Maia Cotton and Max Feldstein chose this special 7-suite lakefront residence with mesmerising mountain views for their beautiful wedding.

“We built Drift Bay villa as a place for family to gather and celebrate. The joy and ‘sense of family’ that emanated from this group during their stay with us was amazing. We are so honoured they embraced Drift Bay - their wedding photos clearly show the feelings we hoped to create.”

The kiwi, New Zealand’s national bird, is instantly recognisable all over the world. But while once abundant and a part of everyday pre-European life, few people get to see or hear kiwi in the wild today. Through immense care and protection of their environments, two of our Bay of Islands villa resorts are enabling guests to experience the wonder of seeing kiwi in their natural habitat at dusk.

An invitation to visit the Foley Villa and explore Wharekauhau’s remarkable landscapes by Quad bike was more than an exhilarating adventure; it offered deep insights into a precious place, and an appreciation of the care with which it’s managed now, and for future generations.
