Description

The Waitutu Forest Lodge is situated in Fiordland, on the ancient marine terraces which form the west bank of the Wairaurahiri River, and is set amongst dense virgin podocarp forest. It is just a five minute walk to the unique wild South Coast. The Lodge provides 6 bedrooms with 21 beds, mattresses and pillows. The kitchen/dining room has gas cooking, all cooking utensils and crockery, and hot & cold running water. There are flush toilets, hot showers, bath, solar powered lighting, and an airing room. A walk-in chiller suitable for fish and game has been installed. Its use is subject to availability of fuel on-site, and a charge is made for its use. The Lodge is managed by a resident host and is open year-round. Booking is recommended, to make sure there is a bed for you. Fly in by helicopter, come in on one of the jet boats which make the trip regularly, or walk the Bluecliffs Beach/south coast track.
