Ngatuhoa Lodge is a 40 minute drive from the Tauriko Crossing shopping center from the Lakes in Tauranga. The final 8km is accessed through a locked forestry gate which lodge users are given access to.
The lodge is situated on DOC land and is surrounded by several DOC marked hiking trails boasting beautiful waterfalls, ancient trees and unique wildlife. We do not allow hunting to be conducted from our premises or permit users to bring their dogs with them.
We are entirely “off-grid” and generate our own electricity via a hydro turbine nearby and source all of our drinking water from the Ngatuhoa river. There is also no cellphone coverage in our area.
Ngatuhoa Lodge is a unique and isolated place. Please ensure you familiarize yourself with our booking policies, terms and conditions and safety warnings before placing a booking
The lodge has a large kitchen with gas ovens and all the pots & pan’s you’ll need. A lounge & dining room with a large fireplace. Recently renovated bathrooms with a drying room for wet weather. 6 bunk rooms with 47 beds in the lodge, 16 beds in the possum hut & another 17 beds can be placed on the heated floor “Marae style” to make a total maximum capacity of 80 people.
