Ariari Lodge, Lake Rotorangi is a Māori owned business operated by a small enthusiastic whānau (family), who will endeavour to ensure that you experience the beauty that enticed us to this whēnua (land) and moana (lake) during your stay.
As a kaupapa whānau business, we have adopted a tuakana-teina approach to ensure generational sustainable business. Our aim is to re-connect you to peaceful nature, the calm flow of the lake, the endless rolling hills with a environmentally friendly focus away from the fast paced city life. Providing you with an incredibly breath of fresh air approach, a touch of our culture hidden in the heart of the valley of luxury for you to unwind, pamper yourself with a level of service that is both friendly, attentive and catered for your requirements.
Ngā kaitiaki (guardians), the team are happy to share their piece of paradise, their cultural environmental insights to their monitoring of the river (awa), sea (moana), forest (ngahere) and taonga species.
