The Lodge here at Makarora River Ranch was originally built as accommodation for sheep shearing crews in the early 1900's. It is now fully modernised and offers ideal accommodation for families and groups. Enjoy the comfortable surroundings after a day's fishing or hunting or simply relax and soak up the view from the deck which runs the length of the building.

No children under 8 years old please.

Bring along your own food to be prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. Other food options include a cafe just a few minutes drive towards Wanaka and another bar/cafe/restaurant a few minutes drive towards Haast.
Please note that the closest supermarket is located at Wanaka so we do recommend stocking up on whatever you may need before your arrival in Makarora.

For those after adventure, we are only minutes away from jet boat, helicopter and plane rides.
Explore the area on foot, try your hand at trout fishing or visit the nearby Blue Pools.

Our location means you could comfortably take a day trip through to the West Coast or visit Wanaka in the other direction.
