Located on the banks of the pristine Whanganui River, this lodge offers a true wilderness fishing experience, without the need for expensive helicopter fees (though helicopter is an option). The entrance to the property is about an hour from Taupo. From there, your guides will take you in via jeep or quad bike (about an hour) or horseback (about 2 hours) across rugged yet spectacular terrain. The freestanding veranda and outdoor cooking & dining area allow for outdoor living, even if the weather turns rough. In addition to sight fishing for rainbow and brown trout, bushwalks or horse treks through majestic native forests are available. Main cabin has a bedroom and a sleeping loft.
