Te Kauri Lodge

Te Kauri Lodge is used by over 1400 people each year who attend environmental education programmes, research, retreats and recreation. The lodge was built by the HJNC in the 1960's and consists of two 37-bed dorms, smaller separate 4-bed rooms, and a 4-bed flat . 

The lodge is fully equipped with kitchen, dining room and lounge, and contains a natural history museum.

There is a camp site 45 minutes walk from the lodge, where you may see glow worms and luminescent fresh water limpets. A toilet is available courtesy of Department of Conservation.

Primary and Secondary school groups - $6.00 per person per night
Tertiary groups - $9.00 per person per night.

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. If you have confirmed a 2010 booking prior to 1 January, this charge will not apply, but we would ask that you consider a koha to this fund instead.

PLEASE NOTE: These charges are all inclusive of GST.
