Wilderness Lodge Arthur's Pass
Arthur's Pass, Canterbury
Eco-lodge & nature guides, Arthur's Pass
The second of New Zealand’s only two Wilderness Lodges sits on a working sheep farm and nature reserve, midway between Christchurch and the West Coast.
Nestled into a beech forest clearing, the lodge enjoys superb mountain views from every window. It offers stylish accommodation, excellent fresh and local food, and an exciting programme of guided activities.
Twice daily complimentary activities provide a great introduction to natural history and wildlife. Join a farm trip (every second afternoon) to experience life on a working sheep farm. Watch sheep-dogs in action, hand feed lambs and see merino sheep shearing. Longer charged trips take guests to hike Southern Alps trails, kayak mountain lakes and explore Arthur’s Pass National Park.
Wilderness Lodge Arthur’s Pass is the perfect destination for nature-lovers and active travellers seeking to experience wild New Zealand in comfort and style.
