Company information

Since Mai 2015 in new zealand, found my dream location here in Ohakune.

Property information

The 2.5acres that encompass the property are filled with many different areas for you to enjoy. From lazing by the river in the hammock, to being taken for a river stroll by Gulliver or just enjoying all the gorgeous plants & flowers on the property you'll find a new discovery around every corner.

Neighbourhood information

What's most interesting about our locale is that like a true wilderness Lodge we are located close to the end of a dirt road & although there are neighbours within walking distance you feel completely isolated (but we give thanks for those neighbours within walking distance, especially during storms/crisis')
