Welcome to Forest Lodge, nature based adventure.

Located in the small village of Owhango in the Ruapehu district, nature in all her splendour is at your doorstep - Tongariro National Park and Whanganui National Park are both within a "stones throw".

Tramp through wild lowland forests or across volcanic terrain, ski Mt Ruapehu, canoe the Whanganui River or mountain bike the 42 Traverse, one of New Zealand's premium mountain bike trails.

Forest Lodge offer personalised tours:

• Tours of the Rings - walk under Mt Doom, visit Henneth Annun (Ithilien Camp) and enter Orc country. See Mordor, Emyn Muil, Meads Wall and walk on the Orc road and view their encampment.
• Guided trout fishing - Ruapehu and the surrounding areas boast world class wilderness fishing.
• Guided hunting - being surrounded by native forest, there is no shortage of game on offer.

The friendly and relaxing atmosphere at Forest Lodge offers the perfect accommodation to accompany your outdoors experience.

We are proud to share our unique slice of nature's beautiful playground with our guests. We look forward to seeing you soon!
