Maori
for "place of well-being", Whare Ora Lodge is located five
minutes from Ohakune and the Tongariro World Heritage Site and 20
minutes from Turoa Ski-field. Originally built in 1910, Whare Ora
was imaginatively redesigned in 1997, blending the existing home with
contemporary, upmarket accommodation facilities.
Whare
Ora Lodge is set on an acre of recently landscaped gardens with
stunning, picture views of Mt Ruapehu and Mt Taranaki. We have available
on site recreational activities such as Petanque and Croquet and
indoor activities if weather permits outdoor activities.
For
the relaxed quiet evening in, we can offer two / three-course dinners
by request (prior to arrival) and will cater for special dietary
needs if required. Alternatively, there are a number of good cafes
and restaurants in town.
Children
are welcome by arrangement and Peanuts our cat is very friendly.
