Getting to the Cavalli Beach House Retreat from Auckland.
Please read in association with a map.

Take State Highway 1 from Auckland through Whangarei to Kawakawa. Turn left at the intersection just before Kawakawa – do not go straight through to Paihia.

Approximately six kilometers past Moerewa is a ‘T’ intersection that turns right onto State Highway 10. Turn right onto SH 10 and travel towards Kerikeri. Do not travel straight ahead towards Kaikohe.

At the Kerikeri roundabout continue straight on State Highway 10 (do not turn right into Kerikeri) for 18.8 Kilometres (about twenty minutes) and turn right into a well sign posted "Tourist Drive" route towards Matauri Bay and the Cavalli Island Group. Do not travel North towards Kaeo.

After travelling for 14.7 Kilometres you reach the Matauri Bay intersection, which is a 'T' intersection. Turn left onto Wainui Rd towards Te Ngaere Bay (Tourist Drive) as opposed to turning right and going to Matauri Bay.

Now set your ‘trip counter’ back to zero.

Follow the left-hand road as it meanders around past such bays as Te Ngaere and Wainui for another 9.4 kilometers.

After travelling 9.4 kilometres look out for a clearly marked right hand turn. Turn right. There is a yellow sign high up on the concrete lamp post-marked ‘Mahinepua Road’. Look out for the ‘Cavalli Beach House’ signs with a builders sign ‘Circle D Construction’ and ‘Cavalli Beach House’ underneath it – both attched to a pine tree !

Travel half a kilometre down this unsealed road and turn right into a private road/farm where there is a sign called “RONAKI” with a stone fence and electronic gate. The keypad for the gate is on the right side, beside the letterboxes. Press 426# on the keypad if the gate is closed.

Drive carefully along this farm track - up and then down into the next bay called Raaki. Cavalli Beach House Retreat is the sail designed structure to your right down in the bay.

Great Navigating and Welcome!
