Activities - At The Lodge

Guests can use the Lodge's mountain bikes (and helmets) to tour the local by-ways and recently developed mountain bike trails surrounding the town. There are a number of walks, from short to long, that can be taken from the Lodge. Or you can just relax by the pool.

While there are many things to do in the wider Kaikoura district, at the Lodge and within its environs there is plenty to do if a guest is so inclined.

One can try one’s skill at country and mountain biking with the Lodge's mountain bikes (and helmets). A variety of walks can be taken from the Lodge, from short to long, beach to bush, with a picnic basket if desired, including a botanical tour of the local native bush. An ocean fishing trip can be arranged, which can include the opportunity to catch a crayfish.

One can enjoy our mineral system pool which is heated all year round and graded A for energy efficiency. The minerals are a blend of potassium and magnesium - no chlorine! They provide many benefits, particularly for skin and hair and for those who are deficient in either/both.
