Relaxing, quaint and set in a beautiful location...

Relaxing and quaint, Wharekawa Lodge sits alongside the beautiful Wharekawa Harbour, at Opoutere, just ten minutes north of Whangamatā. Previously the Opoutere YHA, Wharekawa Lodge provides cabins and tent sites over the summer holiday months, while operating as an adventure education facility during the remainder of the year.
