Retaruke Country Estate

Your relaxed stay involves exclusive use of this special lodge and the opportunity to share all sorts of authentic and fun experiences on the surrounding 4,000+ acres of big, spectacular country that rises 500m from the valley floor to up under Mt Ruapehu. Trek big-country trails on the station horses or bring your own, drive SxS vehicles on off-road adventures, explore the farm on e-mountain bikes, enjoy family fun country style, participate in the working farm, hunt for deer or wander at will and watch wild deer and whio (blue duck) up close and personal. Then at the end of the day relax in the outdoor hot tub and enjoy the lodge along with memorable dining, all the while hosted by Carolyn & Glenn in their warm and friendly way.
