Lodges & Retreats

Experience the very best of Kiwi hospitality and luxury in one or more of South Canterbury’s many lodges and retreats. A weekend treat or longer stay, enjoy pampering and privacy at it’s finest. Choose from self-catering to host prepared dining. In most cases, your hosts will organise or provide a full range of activities and transport to suit your needs.

Take in spectacular panoramic views and clear night skies of the Mackenzie high country, stargaze from the comfort of your SkyBed, awaken to the sound of birdsong or waves gently lap to shore. So many choices. For active relaxers, take a guided walk or fishing, aerial picnic, 4WD adventure or for ultimate thrill-seeking tackle rafting down the Rangitata Gorge before returning to a warm fire at the lodge.

Most owners of lodge and retreat holiday or event accommodation have vast tourism industry experience and are well travelled. Some provide event planning and accommodation for weddings, corporate and special occasions.
