Help Keep Our Forest Healthy!
Most people come to Te Kauri Lodge because of the surrounding native forest. To assist us in managing this precious taonga, from 1 January 2010 there will be a $1.00 per night per person charge, additional to the overnight rate, which will go into a Healthy Forest Fund to help cover the costs of pest control at Te Kauri.
