A farm lodge on the banks of Retaruke River, surrounded by the Whanganui National Park. An outdoor playground with an abundance of activities. From clay bird shooting, bush safaris, horse trekking and hunting to jet boating, hiking and mountain biking.
Sleeping up to eight guests over three bedrooms, there is plenty of space for the whole family. High-tiled ceilings, open-plan living and a wrap-around deck. Here, you can enjoy classic Kiwi barbecues each night. What makes this lodge extra special is the remoteness, no mobile coverage or Wi-Fi. Just quality time together as a family.
Conservation is at the forefront of your host’s values. To help increase the numbers of native birds such as weka, kiwi, blue duck, whio, and bats, they encourage bush to regenerate, improve water quality and trap predators. The lodge has been awarded numerous awards in recognition of its conservation work.
