Located 95km from Auckland in the heart of Waikato farmland on Te Karaka Station, Te Karaka Lodge is a brand new architecturally designed luxury lodge offering the perfect location for those looking to escape into nature surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. Te Karaka Lodge’s convivial and flexible lounge and dining spaces allow for all styles of event from formal to casual.

Our working farm welcomes guided farm tours and guests will have the opportunity to explore the station and gain an insight into the daily running of this busy sheep and cattle high country farm. The Lodge facilities include a decadent outdoor heated spa swimming pool, lawn games, and several verandas on which to relax and absorb the sound of native birdsong. Interior spaces include a large lounge and dining area with bar and cosy fireplace for those chillier mornings and evenings. A small meeting room may also be used as a private dining room.
