About Whitewood Norfolk Island
Creating havens for over a decade
Whitewood Norfolk Island, owned and operated by Rebecca Christian a Norfolk Islander (7th Generation from Fletcher Christian). My dream has always been to own land on Norfolk Island since I was a child living and growing up on the island. The more involved I became working in the Norfolk Island tourism industry it seemed natural to combine this dream with providing visitor accommodation.
Your home away from home
Since starting this project in 2013 my goal has always been for Whitewood to exceed expectations and to be a place to entertain with close friends – a home away from home which immediately sets the tone for rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. Whitewood Sea has hosted visitors for over 12 years.
After a career and family refocus in 2022, I began managing the renovation of a second house on the property Whitewood Haven. It’s been a rewarding but also poignant time working with experienced local trades to create another haven for visitors. Special acknowledgement must go to Rhys Schmitz & family and the Timber on the Move team who finished the renovation started by Rhys in June 2023. Rhys would be so proud of the result. Whitewood Haven opened for business in February 2024.
More recently working with Timber on the Move, Whitewood Central was born (March 2025). Our previous family home at the back of The Professional Centre on Taylors Road has been fully renovated as a final addition (I think!) to the Whitewood Collection. I can certainly attest to the convenience of staying close to town, so handy being walking distance to cafes and shops and having an extended pantry next door to Paw Paws Convenience store! Whitewood Central has been finished to the same high quality standard and has received such positive feedback from visitors already.
Please don’t hesitate to contact Rebecca with any questions you have any of the three accommodation options of Whitewood Norfolk Island.
The view is magnetic and you have attended to every detail to make our NI holiday a truly memorable experience. Whitewood Sea cottage and its location is a piece of heaven on earth – it’s calm peaceful and quiet setting is perfection – reading and listening to birdsong and happy little chookies is a delight to behold! Plenty to do also, we shall never forget our Norfolk Island beautiful holiday.
