Solitaire Lodge

 

Overview

Total privacy, spectacular views, delectable local food…Solitaire Lodge has it all when it comes to escaping from everyday worries, spending your days admiring nature and relaxing at your own pace. Perched right next to the glistening waters of Lake Tarawera, and with a dramatic backdrop of bright green mountains, we’re certain this lodge will take your breath away.

With only 10 suites, the ambience here is secluded and tranquil, and the décor evokes a sense of bringing the outside in. With large windows overlooking the bay, expansive balconies and pretty décor, they’re the ideal spot to rejuvenate with an in-room massage, or simply drink in the views as the sun sets.

The food here is created with local ingredients picked from their own gardens or nearby orchids, focusing on introducing guests to New Zealand’s fresh flavours. Whether you’ve packed up a picnic to sit by the lake, or you’re tucking into a decadent five-course dinner, Solitaire Lodge will take you on a culinary journey.

The intimate setting really helps to create a completely relaxed feel, perfect for unwinding. Nevertheless, should you fancy a bit of activity there is plenty to see and do. Grab one of the lodge’s motorised dinghies or kayaks and float along the completely still lake, wander through the native bush on one of the walking trails, take a dip in the lake or a nearby shallow beach, or even stroll along to the nearby natural hot water pool, adorned with geysers and natural springs.
