Your host Craig Garner welcomes you to the Te Horo Lodge Website.

Craig's home, Te Horo Lodge, is set in a rural environment adjacent to 2 hectares of native bush consisting mainly of Kohekohe trees. The Lodge is situated just 50 minutes from Wellington, at the bottom of the New Zealand's North Island.

Come let us pamper you in our purpose built country Lodge retreat, built in Canadian cedar board and batten. It is built to maximize indoor/outdoor living, with verandahs outside the three downstairs bedrooms and the dining room. The upstairs master suite has a lounge area looking directly out into the tree tops and the serenity of the bush. The décor and furnishing throughout the Lodge consist of strong vibrant colours and the stone fireplace was crafted by a local stone artist. The dining room features a large recycled timber table. The solar heated swimming pool, spa and gazebo are surrounded by a garden of manicured lawns, roses and robinia mop tops. Click on our Accommodation page for more details.

And here is more of what we offer:

• Relax and enjoy the peaceful and tranquil surroundings.
• You are most welcome to join Craig and his other guests for a three course home-cooked dinner, by prior arrangement only. The vegetable garden and orchard supplies the Lodge with fresh vegetables and fruit for most of the year.
• The Lodge is an ideal location for small executive conferences, where future strategies can be developed in this restful environment. You will be the only people in the Lodge so privacy can be assured. You have access to all public areas of the Lodge and grounds for use as breakout groups.

Make the most of your stay on the Kapiti Coast and in the Wellington region, by experiencing some of the many recreational activities available locally, such as attending Ruth Pretty cooking classes, or experience New Zealands top links golf course at the Paraparaumu Beach Golf Course. Also visit the Kapiti Island Nature Reserve to see many of New Zealands endangered bird species. See our Links page for more details.

We trust you enjoy your stay.
