    Very warm and helpful welcome. The lodge had everything we needed, with a great view from the balcony. Ideal to drop into Marahau for anything you need and close to the water taxi, kayaking centres and the end of the trail.

Company information

With both of us having been born and raised in the area, we are passionate locals who look forward to sharing our slice of paradise with you. Chris grew up in Mārahau (onsite) and is a 3rd generation accommodation provider - her parents built and operated the chalets for 26 years and her grandparents had a hotel in Germany. Jared is from Upper Moutere and has a back ground in building and marketing. In our down time we love to explore the NZ mountains and back country tracks, spend time at the beach with our dog (Dell) or just relax in the sun. We are delighted to be able to offer guilt free accommodation - since April 2020 we have been certified Climate Positive (Ekos accredited), this means we offset 120% of our carbon emissions. We are also constantly looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint and enhance our relationship with the environment and community around us. We have recently started a trapping network (Mārahau Halo Trapping Project) with over 70 traps now spread through the Mārahau Village and both volunteer for the local rural fire force and Civil Defense.
