Otahuna Lodge

Countryside great estate.

Set in New Zealand’s pastoral landscape in the shadow of an ancient volcano, Otahuna Lodge is a Victorian mansion hidden among a 30-acre garden. The three-story homestead offers modern amenities blended with Old World charm.

Insider Tip

No trip to Otahuna is complete without a visit to the property's celebrated kitchen gardens, with 140 different varieties of organic fruits, nuts, and vegetables.

Where You’re Staying
