Hotel Description
Nestled in mountain beech forest, midway between Greymouth and Christchurch. Wilderness Lodge Arthur's Pass offers comfort and warm hospitality in a spectacular mountain setting. The lodge has 24 Lodge rooms, an intimate restaurant, lounge, library and theatre for evening nature talks. (Click here to view a gallery page of the 4 new Alpine Lodge Rooms). Discover wild nature in the New Zealand mountains and experience life on our 3,000 hectare nature reserve / high country merino sheep station. Walk from your room into a natural paradise of beech forest, tussock clearings, moss-lined streams and lakes on a network of nature walks. The highlight of the Lodge is a daily programme of nature discovery activities. Our naturalist guides will help you to explore nature and learn about high country life.
All Lodge rooms have private bathrooms and sun and superb alpine views.
Cora Lynn lounge
You can enjoy privacy and seclusion or you can join with other guests and our guides to enjoy our nature tours and farm activities. Around the log fire you will make new friends and learn about New Zealand and its people as you plan your next day's adventures.
You will also learn more about this special place the first Maori visitors called "Te Ko Awa a Aniwaniwa - Valley of the Mother of the Rainbows."
We are working to protect the special plants, forests and wildlife found on our high country station and surrounding lands in partnership with the Department of Conservation. For 8 years we have been fostering rare mistletoes, bellbirds, parakeets and kea in the forest around the Lodge. We have discovered and protected endangered plants in thorn forest near the Lodge. We are proud that it has been possible to protect nature and nearby run a successful and profitable merino wool farming programme. Our farm management programme involves building soil fertility, establishing high quality pastures and breeding a quality flock of Merino sheep with our superfine wool exported to Italian fashion houses. This is a wholly New Zealand owned and operated tourist venture. The McSweeney and Jarman families who own the Lodge, trace their New Zealand farming ancestry back to 1860.
