Marketing manager Rochelle Gray said it resonates with history.
“The Landing takes its name from the landing site where Māori and European settlers first met, exchanged cultures and created a new nation, making it one of the most culturally and historically significant sites from New Zealand.
“Its development and operation have been guided by an approach focused on long-term ownership and kaitiakitanga (guardianship).
“Management maintains a constructive relationship with local Ngāti Torehina hapū, consults them on important issues and adheres to a cultural management plan regarding land use and operations.”
The Landing has been regenerated as a unique heritage, conservation and lifestyle property which includes over 400 hectares of farmland, beaches, native bushland, bird sanctuaries and 43 protected historic sites.
The Landing Residences are a group of four spectacular private accommodations which offer guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in a unique location, in exceptional comfort, and enjoy the finest New Zealand hospitality.
Rates start at $4,900 per night and go up to $24,500 – with a minimum stay of two nights.
Gray said the majority of guests are from the United States.

Eagles Nest general manager Adam Howard said Northland's people, culture and environment inspired every element of a guest's stay.
For example, the honey served in the villa comes from the accommodation's hives.
“It’s a romantic retreat for couples. Our largest villas are a place where families can reconnect and celebrate milestones.
Howard said the Eagles Nest team has three generations of family, the oldest of which grew up on the land where the luxury venue is located.
“This connection is very important to us as a team made up of predominantly long-standing employees, born and raised in Northland. »
Howard said comments often talked about how beautiful and peaceful the place was, and that it was a place for relaxation and seclusion.
“It’s a privilege to showcase all the incredible things Northland has to offer our guests.”
