Kokonga Lodge: Kokonga
Lodge is a stylish and welcoming haven for travelers, amid an
astonishing and ever-changing landscape. Kokanga translates from Maori
as "Bend in the River". This lovely lodge sits on an elevated 10-acre
landscaped site with extensive views over the heart of the Maniototo
region of Central Otago. The area, long celebrated by writers, artists
and poets, is renowned for its wide-open countryside, rolling tussock
vistas and constantly changing big skies. Your three-course dinner at
the lodge tonight will utilize fresh and home-grown produce, along with
a selection of New Zealand beer and wine.
Aoturoa Lodge: Aoturoa,
(which means “World of Light”) provides luxury boutique lodge
accommodation. This unique villa is tucked away on the Clutha River
terrace at the end of a one kilometre private drive. The river is a two
minute stroll from the lodge with mountain views in all directions and
barely a building in sight. You could be hundreds of kilometres away
from civilisation yet a short 15 minute drive from the accommodation
finds Wanaka township with its boutiques, restaurants, art galleries,
& magnificent sightseeing with activities such as national park
walks, trout fishing, jet boating, kayaking, golf, skiing, and visiting
wineries for wine tasting.
