Kourawhero Country Lodge

With 18 luxurious suites an hour north of Auckland, at the gateway to the Matakana Wine Region, Kourawhero (koo - ra - fero, meaning 'red crayfish') delivers a true 5 star lodge experience. Facilities include a restaurant, day spa, gym, sauna, plunge pool and tennis court. Set on 120 acres with bush walks and waterfalls, the only sounds you'll hear are the birds. Kourawhero also has 3 fully equipped conference rooms and is ideal for secure and productive meetings. During your stay you will experience relaxed and personal service from Kourawhero's owners - the Mann Family, who will ensure that you receive the finest food and wine, all in a sophisticated, peaceful and luxurious atmosphere. The Suites provide a feeling of peace, luxury and relaxation and have a wonderful sense of space with lofted ceilings, huge windows and uncluttered styling. Our 18 Deluxe Suites emphasise warm colours and rich natural textures through extensive use of pure cotton, wood, paper and stone. With a private deck area, an en-suite bathroom that has twin basins, an amazing multi-function, computer controlled, double massage bath and an oversized shower with two shower towers, the Suites have a wonderful sense of luxury. Add a sumptuous king-size bed and you have the ideal place to spend a delightful night, or more. Kourawhero supports the equalisation of opportunities for people with disabilities and we have two Deluxe Suites that take into account some specific needs. These Suites may also be an option for older or infirm guests.
