Kauri Lodge -Luxury waterfront

Kauri Lodge is perched on the edge of the cliffs at Pouto, offering breathtaking views of Kaipara Harbour. Secluded and private, it's the perfect retreat for a romantic getaway. Unwind, relax, and immerse yourself in the peaceful serenity of Kaipara. Curl up with a book, enjoy a board game, or lounge on the deck, soaking up the sun and stunning surroundings. As night falls, recline in the hot tub with a glass of wine, stargaze, or drift off to sleep as the moonlight dances over the harbour. The space Kauri Lodge is located at the end of the three cabins, alongside Kaipara and Kapia Lodges on the property. With 25 meters of separation, privacy screens, plants, and individual access to each lodge, we ensure privacy and noise segregation for a peaceful stay. This luxury lodge offers all the comforts you need for an unforgettable getaway. Relax, sip wine, and take in the stunning views. For those seeking adventure, enjoy a horseback ride along the rugged west coast, explore the Pouto sand dunes, hike to New Zealand's oldest wooden lighthouse (a 14km return beach trek), or test your fishing skills in the famous Kaipara Harbour.
