Wilderness Lodge Lake Moeraki Review
In a World Heritage-listed rainforest on the banks of the Moeraki River and an easy 20-minute bushwalk from the Tasman Sea—the superb surroundings and team of eco-guides make this lodge an ideal place to get absorbed in the environment. On-site naturalists introduce you to native plants and animals. Rates include a full breakfast, four-course dinner, use of canoes and kayaks, and two short, guided walks or kayak trips.
