At the heart of a 19th century Victorian estate, Otahuna Lodge seamlessly knits past and present together: period woodwork, stained glass windows and fifteen working fireplaces combine with a host of modern comforts and a rich collection of contemporary New Zealand art. Outside, Otahuna, which is Maori for little hill among the hills, has striking views over the Canterbury Plains and the Banks Peninsula. The song of native bellbirds invites guests to discover hidden glades, ponds and more than 120 different kinds of organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and mushrooms in the historic gardens.

Thirty Acres of Gardens

"The restoration of our gardens over the last years has unearthed many surprises in all seasons. One million daffodils welcome guests to the Lodge in the spring whilst in the autumn, guests delight in foraging for cepe mushrooms under the century-old oaks with our gardeners. Wander the grounds to discover lawns, hidden glades, ponds, productive gardens, a formal parterre and woodland trails. Or join us for a complimentary tour -an excellent way to immerse yourself in the history of this Victorian Estate."

Diverse landscapes

Canterbury boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in New Zealand. In just a short distance, you can travel from extinct volcanoes overlooking the ocean to glacial mountains, swim with the world’s smallest dolphins, fish for trout and salmon in crystal-clear rivers, hike through beech forests, or taste Pinot Noir and Riesling wines from vineyards in Waipara. Alternatively, simply stay back by the pool and enjoy the tranquility of Otahuna Lodge.
