  • You can enjoy a truly unique Kiwi experience. A Kiwi Bush Bath under the stars and with a stunning view of Mt Hutt. The baths are private and offered as a unique user experience. Although nowadays they are no longer heated by lighting a raw fire under the bath and are heated by gas so that you can enjoy a more comfortable bath. The cost of each bath is $25 per bath.

Not a problem, venture into this magnificent countryside that engulfs the Lodge and we can provide you with a full picnic lunch at the rate of $15 per person to be enjoyed whilst you look out at the magnificent scenery. Please remember however to let us know if you require this as these are provided to order and may be limited if not pre-advised.
