Come for the food. Stay for the view. Leave feeling refreshed.

For those lucky enough to live within an hour’s drive of Te Karaka Lodge, we invite you to escape the everyday and enjoy a leisurely lunch and take in the beautiful views.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion with family or simply looking for a peaceful spot to catch up with friends, our lodge offers a welcoming, relaxed setting with panoramic views across rolling farmland. Sit back, soak in the serenity, and enjoy fresh, seasonal food crafted with care.

Lunches can be tailored to suit the mood — from casual to something more refined for special occasions such as anniversaries or small group gatherings. We use produce from our onsite greenhouse and try and keep things as local and sustainable as possible.

We’re happy to accommodate special requests — whether it’s a birthday cake or a custom menu to help make your visit extra special. Just let us know when you book.

If you are looking for a nice lunch or dinner out, come join us! We offer family-style dinners, set 2 -course lunches, BBQ afternoons and cheese/charcuterie boards that go great with our Kiwi beverage selection for groups. Feel free to contact us about your gathering.

Bookings are essential. Please email us at stay@tekarakalodge.co.nz with your dates and special requests and let us know where you will be coming from :)
