Otahuna Lodge

Wide vistas over lawn and loch contrast beautifully with intimate walks which wind through hedged pathways, exotic trees and formal flower beds.

Otahuna Lodge is an intimate, exclusive retreat set in an 1895 New Zealand colonial mansion offering seven individual suites. The 2 master suites and 5 suites retain grand architectural features from the 19th century such as ornate wood-burning fireplaces, carved inglenooks and stained glass windows. Honest, uncluttered flavours, the finest ingredients and elegantly restrained presentation are the hallmarks of the Otahuna table. Situated at the base of the Banks Peninsula, Otahuna Lodge is just 20 minutes drive from the city centre of Christchurch, making it the perfect location from which to explore Canterbury. Food and wine are an integral part of the Lodge experience. The menu celebrates the super of fresh New Zealand produce with an emphasis on seasonal estate-grown offerings. The spectacular 110-year old green gardens stretch over 30 acres. Wineries, private gardens, championship golf, world-class fishing and even the world's rarest dolphins are all just a short drive - or helicopter ride - from the front door. Christchurch International Airport is 20km southeast to the property
