Te Mata Lodge is set in a hidden valley. There are over 10 acres of private walks, grassy lawns, gardens and native bush. The Te Mata Creek borders the property and provides opportunities for swimming and kayaking, gemstone gathering, gold panning and river walking. BBQs, picnic areas and benches are situated under the trees along the river for meals, a quiet cup of tea, shared bottle of wine or peaceful contemplation. The abundance of native bush and birds make for idyllic peacefulness.
Each cottage, chalet and cabin has a booklet with information about Te Mata Lodge facilities, day trips and outings, and historical/geological information about the Coromandel.
