Copthorne Hotel & Resort Bay of Islands
A beachfront resort at Waitangi with two outdoor pools, tennis courts and a spa, beside the Treaty Grounds.
The Copthorne is at 1 Tau Henare Drive, on the beach at Te Ti Bay, about 400 m from Te Tii Marae and close to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Facilities include two outdoor pools, a tennis court and a spa, and parking is free.
Guest reviews are mixed on the rooms: the location and pool get praise, while some guests found the rooms dated. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is by 10:00. The hotel does not provide airport transfers, and you will want a car for the Bay of Islands anyway.
A sensible mid-range base for a family trip. Paihia, the ferry to Russell and the boat tours are a short drive away.
