A boutique lodge in tropical Tutukaka

Nestled in a valley behind Tutukaka Marina, bursting with tropical paradise vibes is a boutique lodge. A relaxed atmosphere and the perfect base to explore the Tutukaka coastline. Discover the coastal walking tracks and white sand beaches. Within walking distance to restaurants and bars, put your flip flops on and wander down for a refreshing drink at the marina.


With the use of recycled Tutukaka Marina piles, wooden boardwalks, lush greenery and native plants, this lodge has all the elements for a relaxing stay. Spend time in the courtyard, jump in for a dip in the saltwater pool or soak in the cedar sauna.

A diverse diving paradise is located off the coast of Tutukaka. Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve is listed as a World Heritage Site and is New Zealand’s best diving spot. Discover the underwater world and the unique flora and fauna flourishing on the islands.
