At the end of your busy day return to the peace and tranquility of the lodge, soak in the jacuzzi over looking the garden, relax with a pre-dinner drink chatting with your hosts and perhaps fellow guests and then enjoy the lodge cuisine accompanied by some fine New Zealand wines.

“Thank you for making our last two days in New Zealand a delightful experience. We enjoyed seeing the kauri trees and the surrounding countryside. We wish we could stay longer and learn more about the area”

What a fantastic place to explore the fabulous Kauri forest and beaches of the north west coast. Fran and Ian are the most attentive, accommodating and charming hosts imaginable. Nothing was too much trouble, with fabulous food and wine and so many small thoughtful touches that make for the perfect relaxing break.
