Quite often while traveling you come to a point where you miss your friends and family, and that's where the Aoturoa Lodge comes in. A beautiful escape all in its own right, nestled between valleys and the mountains you are lost and rejuvenated at the same time in the privately owned 50 acres. This incredible lodge welcomes you with open arms and picturesque views which instantly allows you to unwind and reconnect with your loved ones and yourself. Jon and Leslie are incredible hosts; knowledgeable, warm and inviting you feel as though they are the long lost family you so missed while on your worldly travels. A true meaning of the lodge life farm to table, remote, and wrapped up in dancing winds and quiet rustling of the trees around you, one can wonder how they became so lucky to find themselves staying at Aoturoa. Jon and Leslie not only are incredible at hosting but their skills in the kitchen surpass some of the best restaurants you have ever eaten in. Breakfast is fresh and loaded up with delicious, healthy, fresh home grown options. One of our greatest highlights was being able to join Jon and Leslie at their dinner table, the food was incredible and sourced with local delicacies and the conversation flowed without feeling time passing. Truly modern and lavish with a quiet country charm you feel the perfect blend of old and new, a charm that is woven through every aspect of their home. Aoturoa means World of light and that's what you get here light for as far as the eye can see and a lightness to your soul feeling rejuvenated and recharged.
