Grasmere Lodge High Country Retreat

Built in 1858, the original limestone homestead, now the core of the lodge, introduces you to the style of personal pampering. At the same time this traditional New Zealand high country station (ranch), set amid towering 7000 ft peaks, provides a wide range of outdoor activities for those seeking a more adventurous interlude.

Grasmere Lodge also offers a richness of traditional New Zealand hospitality. Owners, Oliver and Vicki Newbegin, and their staff epitomize New Zealand friendliness and generosity of spirit. Together they take great delight in sharing the magic of Grasmere with their guests.

Featuring three different room types accommodate up to 24 guests in the utmost comfort. Whether relaxing in the conservatory or having a drink by the fire in the library or large lounge, Grasmere Lodge is a glorious high country retreat. This was the setting in which a previous owner, David McLeod, wrote the books that made Grasmere famous.

In the dining room, you will discover exceptional cuisine and a wine list to match. Gin-clear streams and lakes challenge the fly-fisherman, while deer and wild boar roam the native beech forest. This wilderness provides a retreat without equal.
