Retaruke Country Estate

Your stay involves exclusive use of this luxury lodge and the opportunity to have all sorts of genuine 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 in the knowledge that the nearest neighbours are kilometres away.
