Lodge Activities

With so much to do and numerous ways to relax at Te Arai Lodge, you may never want to leave.

  • Pool & Spa

    Swim laps or just dip your toes in the stunning 20 metre heated saltwater pool. Or simply soak in the serenity in the cedar mineral spa or relax on a sun lounger poolside with your favourite book and a refreshing drink for a leisurely afternoon.

  • Yoga

    Calm your mind and align your body with a private yoga class in our serene yoga studio, equipped with floor-length mirrors, and views out to the pool and native forest. Classes are tailored to accommodate all levels of abilities and guests are also welcome to create their own practice.

  • Massage

    Our expert therapists, Steph and Eve Glover, offer a holistic approach to wellbeing, drawing from traditional body therapy practices including Ayurveda and acupuncture. Using only premium natural body and skincare products, their professional treatments will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

  • Pétanque & Lawn Games

    Set amongst the gardens with sweeping views, our pétanque court is the perfect setting for a game of boules with family and friends. Or take to the manicured lawns for a game of Kubbs or kick of a football.
