About this property

Tremendous Value Venue For Large & Small Groups

Come and enjoy the unique, peaceful and natural environment here at Te Kauri. Just an hour from Hamilton the Reserve with its 500 year-old kauri, stunning Karst landscapes, wetlands and wild life is just a few steps away. Just down the road is Te Puia hot Ocean Beach.

Available all year round the Lodge can accommodates up to 90 from small clubs to large families/whanau groups or training providers in a mix of bunkrooms, 4 smaller rooms (sleeping a maximum of 6 each) and a 6-bed studio.

Hotwater showers and toilets in a separate but adjacent building.

Our commercially equipped kitchen also has a walk-in chiller, pantry and a freezer already to feed those in the adjoining dining room (seats 120). This can also double as a meeting room with is wall-mounted whiteboards and a pull-down screen. We also have a syndicate/breakout room (seats 25) with whiteboards (data projector available for hire).

Our comfortable, airy lounge (with upright piano!) sports a large fireplace - ideal for those cooler Winter evenings but when its warmer why not take in the unrestricted views of Mount Pirongia whilst enjoying breakfast on the 50m² deck. The gardens have a variety of picnic tables and a barbeque withs immediate access on foot into the Reserve.

For the more adventurous - or perhaps those who really want to get away from it - a 30-minute walk into the bush will find you in a clearing alongside the Waikuku stream at our lightweight camp (with dunny). Guests are welcome to use the campsite (bring your own camping equipment).

This really is a perfect destination for large groups - birthdays, anniversaries and family/whanau events. Also ideal for team-building, conferences, training and led retreats.

Events are especially welcome. However, commercial organisers are asked to make contact before entering into any booking arrangements. Any such booking made without prior approval is liable to summary cancellation.

Onsite parking for 25 (additional parking available). Bookings are not shared - groups have exclusive use of the whole lodge.

Great time!
Awesome place for our group getaway. Isolated with amazing views off the deck. Big chiller which helped keep the beers cold! Facilities were simple but everything you need. Hosts were super friendly and hospitable.

Great Stay at Te Kauri Lodge
Had a great stay here with a group of friends. Plenty of beds and space for us to spend time together and relax, large kitchen with all appliances etc that you need, easy drive to town and to the beach. Be aware that reception is super spotty and bathrooms are classic camp style, so don't book if the odd insect in the shower isn't your thing, haha! Friendly hosts and overall fun stay, thanks so much for having us! :)

Lovely property, perfect for our small group of friends - an abundance of room for us! Lots of beds/rooms to choose from. The lounge was cosy and the kitchen had excellent facilities, everything we needed was on hand. Stunning view on the deck. The property manager was very friendly and helpful. Thank you!

What a find near Kawhia.
Te Kauri Lodge is a large school style camp with facilites for over 100 people. Booking the Lodge for a casual group of up to 25 is a delight, you have SPACE to live in. We walked to the Glow worms, we went on a short bush walk. The Museum is great and the Lounge is relaxing. Cooking is a breeze, and their is a large number of beads available. Host is very helpful. Thank you JuNats for letting us stay at your place.
