The Landing

The Purerua Peninsula, home to The Landing, is one of the most exquisite places in the world – a coastal paradise of turquoise water and white sands lining a verdant patchwork of rolling farmland and native forests. But the spirit of The Landing goes deeper than the beauty of the ocean and land or the purity of the air. As one of the earliest sites of settlement and trade in New Zealand, this place has a deep sense of history and warmth that can only be experienced by being here – sharing meals made with ingredients grown and gathered in the region, hearing the stories of the past told by the people who live here, and encountering the places and artefacts held sacred as taonga (treasures). At The Landing, our guiding principle is to honor and protect the history and landscape of this place so we can continue to share it with others for generations to come. The property has been developed with the blessing and contribution of local iwi (Māori tribes) and the land where sites of cultural and heritage importance lie within the property are held in a charitable trust to ensure their preservation.
