SAVOR - Culinary experience at the LodgeExperience the very best of New Zealand’s fresh and exciting produce prepared to your own individual preferences by Lake Okareka Lodge’s internationally trained personal chef – and savor this innovative cuisine with the very best of New Zealand’s increasingly famous and award winning ‘new world’ wines.
INDULGE - SpaRegenerate the body and relax the mind with professional Kahuna massage, or maybe some uniquely New Zealand mud bath therapy, a soak in a natural hot mineral pool, or a range of other therapeutic treatment options.
ENJOY - Sporting activitiesEnjoy the contrasts of Rotorua’s unique environment – lakeside boardwalks and hiking tracks close to Lake Okareka Lodge, and the nearby Redwoods Forest offering some of the world’s best mountain bike tracks and spectacular walking trails. A visit to one of Rotorua’s natural geothermal attractions is a must to view spouting geysers, steaming hot pools and bubbling mud pools showing another side of this otherwise serene and peaceful environment.
RELAX - Favorite beachThe peace and privacy of Lake Okareka Lodge is perfect for that get-away-from-it-all break. Curl up with a book in the library; relax on the private beach with a picnic and a glass of New Zealand’s finest wine. Or head out on the lake with just the sound of wind in the sails and the birds to keep you company.
