MEET DARREN + THE TEAM
True kiwi hospitality, with a side of 5 star cuisine.
It’s not just a job for us, we’re passionate about the land, the native bush, adventure and…food (ok, wine gets a look in, too).
But mostly, we love sharing our slice of paradise with YOU. The wine tours, Lodge, star-gazing into a clear night sky, and chopper rides to untouched native forests.
Creating unique, once-in-a lifetime memories you just can’t get at a hotel…and hearing feedback like “best experience of my life”, is why we’d love to invite you to our beautiful lodge.
