This accommodation is right at the start of the Humpridge track. The owner (and mum) were fantastic hosts. When you’re a bit short of food the offer of local sausages and home grown vegetables for dinner, the evening before the trek was most welcome. Note they do not normally do dinner. This is like asking a B&B for dinner! Very knowledgeable about the history of track.

Awesome place to stay. We stayed the night before we started the Humpridge track. It was great because we were right at the start of the walk. They provided us with ingredients to make pizzas for dinner then a breakfast also provided. Bonus when we finished the walk we were able to pay for a clean towel and hot shower! Amazing. Kelly baked super yummy cinnamon scrolls. Highly recommend, warm and friendly staff.

The accommodation was clean and tidy, service friendly and the extra touches like delicious coffee, and cinnamon scrolls on our return form the completing the Hump Ridge track made it a home away from home. Would love to return with my family.

A wee hidden gem at the beginning of the Hump Ridge tack! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Exceptional host who went out of his way to welcome us from firing up the pizza oven, making a fantastic (real) coffee and delivering a majito to me while I soaked in their outdoor hot tub. Room and facilities very comfortable , clean and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend A+++

Fantastic little lodge with homely atmosphere and attentive host. We stayed before and after walking The Humpridge Track. The location is perfect. No shuttling on the morning of the walk, just get up, eat, and hit the trail! 6am espresso, and alovera mojito when we returned were a bonus! Thanks for your hospitality Blake.

We were doing the Hump Ridge Track and didn't want to rush on the 3rd day to meet the van that is scheduled for 230pm. The Rarakau Lodge was perfect for that. We could enjoy the day's walk arriving at 430pm. The Lodge itself was great - well-equipped kitchen and excellent common area. Great host as well.

Lots of personal care by owner and this made the stay enjoyable and memorable. I had a free upgrade to the deluxe room too! Excellent amenities for the venue and room was warm - catered for by a good heater. I rate this place highly, if you want a bit of time out of town for a nature retreat and quiet space. Many thanks and blessings!
