Once a Maori Pa site, this lakeside accommodation is steeped in local history - of ancient battles, love and life - and looks out towards the historic Mokoia Island. The luxury lodge retreat is a converted 1930s mansion filled with beautiful antiques and a choice of 9 spacious, exquisitely furnished suites, most with views of the lake.
