Our block is 80 acres on the north-eastern slopes of the Mount Manaia range. Your accommodation is a brand new, purpose built lodge, near the entrance to our property. We take up to twelve walkers at a time.
The lodge, which was completed in October 2008, is very private and nestled into a manuka covered hillside with extensive rural and sea views. Relax in the comfortable open living space. Dine indoors or alfresco in the covered barbecue area. Rest up after your day's walk in one of the three bedrooms or bunkroom (bottom sheets, pillows and pillowslips are provided). Enjoy a shower or bath with unlimited hot water. There are two bathrooms inside and one outside, the outside bathroom has an open air bath with lovely bush views.
The lodge is wheelchair friendly, with a ramped entrance and an accessible bathroom.
The bedrooms are set up like this:
- First bedroom: queen sized bed.
- Second bedroom: twin single beds.
- Third bedroom: three person bunk (i.e. double below and single up top), plus a single bed.
- Bunk Room: three sets of single bunks. Six people total.
(We know that adds up to fourteen people, but we think twelve is a sensible maximum for the lodge.)
When the booking is for one party only the bedrooms are allocated strictly on a "first in, first served" basis, although we expect walkers etiquette to prevail. However, where there is more than one party here at the same time, we will allocate rooms when you arrive.

Treasure the quiet - there is no cell phone coverage or television reception in the lodge.
