Otahuna Lodge is one of New Zealand’s most distinguished luxury lodges, set within 30 acres of manicured gardens and rolling countryside at the foot of the Port Hills, just outside Christchurch. Originally built in 1895, this meticulously restored Victorian mansion combines historic grandeur with contemporary comfort and warm New Zealand hospitality.

The lodge offers seven individually designed suites, each reflecting the property's heritage character while providing modern luxury. Guests can enjoy exceptional cuisine showcasing produce from the estate's extensive gardens, along with access to private walking trails, cycling, wine tasting and day excursions throughout Canterbury.
