This week we had the pleasure of welcoming our manuhiri to Ōkataina Lakes Lodge for their company retreat. 🤎

We love welcoming people into our little corner of Te Taiao. sharing good kai, beautiful surroundings, stories and connection.

As part of their stay, Sal shared a special kōrero on the history of Ōkataina Lakes Lodge and the whakapapa connected to this place, giving our manuhiri an opportunity to learn more about the whenua, its history and the stories that make Ōkataina so special. 🌿

✨ Mānawatia a Matariki! ✨

Matariki marks the Māori New Year! A time to remember those who have passed, celebrate the present, and look ahead with hope for the future.

There’s no better place to embrace the spirit of Matariki than at Okataina Lakes Lodge. Gather around the fire with a hot chocolate, enjoy woodfired pizza and a BBQ, relax in our lakeside sauna, and take in the peaceful beauty of Lake Ōkataina. Just a 30-minute drive from Rotorua, you can also experience the Matariki drone show before returning to the warmth and tranquillity of the lodge.

Wishing you and your whānau a season of reflection, connection, and renewal. 🌌🌿

Beautiful day taking our guests from Taiwan on a guided bush walk with Kris through the ngahere to the waterfall here in Ōkataina 🌿💧

Fresh air, native bush, good kōrero and an unreal spot to slow down and take it all in.

Ngā mihi to Kris for guiding the walk and sharing the beauty of this place with everyone.
