You have just found New Zealand's best kept secret located in the beautiful foothills of the Ruahine Range in heartland Manawatu.
Makoura Lodge has been operating as a country lodge, rural retreat and rural venue for over eleven years and offers tranquil, peaceful surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We are an ideal base for weddings, conferences, team buiding groups, family reunions, or just somewhere for a couple to come and relax and get away from it all... We offer Qualmark 4 star accommodation, and have a fully licenced bar and restraunt on the premises.
Activities that we can organise for you here include Horse Trekking, Clay Bird Shooting, Archery, Quad Bikes, 4 Wheel Drive Safaris, Axe Throwing, Hole in One Golf, Jack n Jill Crosscut Sawing along with various lawn sports and all levels of team building games.
Our 4 wheel-drive proving ground has been developed along with Toyota, and we also run events at our Waipari Glen facility alongside the track (for more details go to
