Do you want to rediscover nature in the isolated
back country of New Zealand, walk in among New Zealand's
native forest, listen and see
some of our beautiful native
birds. Or maybe you just want
a romantic time out with a
special friend, or team time out for planning strategy?

Yes! Then Boulder Lodge is for you.

Boulder Lodge is nestled beside the Ruahine Forest Park in the Pohangina Valley, Manawatu. It's approximately one hour's drive, through scenic farm land, from Palmerston North city which is two hour's drive from Wellington, New Zealand's capital city.

NO CARBON FOOTPRINT!
By staying at Boulder Lodge you will leave NO CARBON FOOTPRINT. We have a unique forest on our farm which includes indigenous "native" and "exotic" Douglas Fur and Pinus Radiata trees. These absorb and store many tonnes of carbon from our atmosphere. So when you head home from your stay at Boulder lodge you can take comfort in the knowledge that you have left NO CARBON FOOTPRINT.
