Proven Lodge Investment with Owner's Accommodation

Tucked into lush native bush with direct water access to Tryphena Harbour, Pigeons Lodge is a rare Great Barrier Island opportunity where lifestyle and income meet. Long regarded as a sanctuary for traveler's seeking peace, nature and an authentic off-grid experience, this iconic property is now offered for sale. A tightly held asset in one of Aotearoa's most untouched destinations.
With decades of operation Pigeons Lodge enjoys strong brand recognition, repeat custom and proven demand. A key advantage for investors is the separate private owner's accommodation unlocking multiple pathways, live on site and run the lodge hands-on, appoint management while retaining a private island escape or blend lifestyle use with steady tourism income.
Positioned just minutes from the Tryphena ferry and within easy walking distance of beaches, cafes and bush tracks, the location delivers both privacy and accessibility. The current mix of self-contained units and private rooms appeals to couples, families, backpackers and eco-travellers, while offering clear scope to add value, refine the experience or reposition toward higher-yield retreat or wellness markets. Wheelchair friendly with a lift and accessible bathroom you can cater to all.
Run it as an established lodge, elevate it into a boutique retreat or secure your own island base with income potential. Fully off-grid, rich in character and deeply connected to its environment, Pigeons Lodge is more than a property it's an investment in lifestyle, legacy and discovery.
