New Zealand Lodge

With New Zealand providing so many interesting and exciting activities and attractions, it makes sense that the country boasts a huge number of high quality lodges.  By definition, lodges provide temporary accommodation for participants in a special activity.  In New Zealand, that activity could include anything from fly fishing to wine tasting.  

Lodges are character establishments that house an intimate number of people (generally having no more than twenty rooms).  They are often located in remote, scenic areas that provide easy access to the activities being undertaken by their guests.  While some lodges just provide accommodation, more and more establishments are providing on-site conveniences like bodies of water for fishing, horse riding trails and even helipads.

Lodges provide a high level of customer service.  You will receive a warm welcome and often a drink or a small gift when you check in and will continue to receive friendly and impeccable service throughout your stay.  Hosts are accommodating and more than willing to arrange activities for you; tailor made, unique experiences are a hallmark of the lodge experience.  They can also provide you with a personal guide.  Finally, you’ll benefit from the knowledge and enthusiasm of a resident.  The local knowledge of your host and the lodge staff means that you will experience the best that the area has to offer.

Lodges are also renowned for providing excellent food to entice weary travellers.  Lodges in New Zealand often have a chef on staff, who uses the best local produce to provide three delicious meals a day.  A stay at one of New Zealand’s lodges guarantees fine cuisine and wine, excellent accommodation and the famous Kiwi hospitality.
