A place that makes you feel special, this relaxing lodge fills a renovated colonial farmstead and the decor is gorgeous down to the last detail. The uniquely decorated rooms spaced around the gardens have large verandahs and crackling fireplaces to enhance the highland ambience. There's excellent home-grown food, too. It’s west of Karatu and about 2.5km north of the highway.
