“Canterbury is the largest and most geographically diverse province in New Zealand – our guests are spoilt for choice in deciding how to fill their days. Within 2 hour’s drive from the Lodge can drive along the crater rim of an extinct volcano looking down 300 metres to the ocean, swim with the world’s smallest dolphins in a quiet harbour, fly-fish for trout or salmon in virgin streams, have an ice picnic on glaciated mountains, hike through native beech forests, sample Pinot Noir and Riesling in the Waipara wine region and more. Or simply relax by our pool in summer and enjoy the historic architecture and interiors of the Lodge.”
