Otahuna Lodge is an intimate, exclusive retreat set in an 1895 homestead surrounded by 30 acres of its own botanic gardens. The property is protected by a Category One listing from the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, and is one of the finest examples of Queen Anne architecture in Australasia.
The spectacular 110 year old gardens include lawn and lake, woodland walks with pathways around exotic trees, the formal Dutch Garden, a field of daffodils and vegetable 'potager'. With swimming pool and tennis court in situ, guests can spend hours relaxing without leaving the grounds. When you do begin exploring the surrounds, you will find towns, golf courses, wineries and much more right on the doorstep.
Inside, the suites and public rooms express grand architectural features from the nineteenth century with open fireplaces, carved inglenooks and stained glass windows. The delight of Otahuna is reflected in its cuisine, where the finest ingredients are treated with honesty and presented with restrained elegance.
