Solitaire Lodge

Nestled in pristine native bush, on its own private peninsula, Solitaire Lodge gazes out across the glassy depths of Lake Tarawera and onto Mount Tarawera's towering peak. Guests enjoy almost supernatural views, the finest in New Zealand cuisine, an exceptional wine cellar, and personal service that has been described as virtuoso.

Little wonder, then, that Solitaire Lodge has been a favorite getaway of the most discerning for decades. This 10-Suite, 5-Star accommodation was one of New Zealand's first Luxury Lodges, hosting high-profile guests over the past 30 years. It ranks as one of the world's most desirable destinations and provides an enticing base for all who wish to explore this area of great natural beauty.

Solitaire Lodge is a Honeymoon destination you will never forget, a simply magical venue for your wedding celebrations, a very special vacation experience. For some the pleasure comes from impeccable service and attention to detail in everything we do, for others it's the glorious seclusion and the chance to lose oneself in pristine scenic beauty.

Solitaire Lodge offers amazing views from every luxury Suite, a terraced Spa Pool, Heliport, float plane tours and jetty access to luxury charter boats and smaller craft. Trout-fishing, boating, kayaking, bush walking, thermal bathing and sightseeing are some of the many activities available to guests.

The Lodge is a member of the exclusive Small Luxury Hotels of the World and has received many awards for its service, cuisine, and attention to detail.
