Outlook Lodge
Outlook Lodge
Raglan, Waikato
Outlook Lodge is set on Outlook Station, 35 minutes from Raglan in the Waikato. It's a 1 hour and 40-minute drive from Auckland City and 25-minutes from Hamilton City.
This atmospheric off-grid lodge is an ideal family or group escape. Sleeping 10, the lodge sits on a remote spot on the farm - with incredible views out towards farmland and bush.
The interior of the lodge is rustic, warm and welcoming. Plenty of comfy seating, a dartboard and a generous kitchen make it the perfect space for gatherings. There are two bunk rooms with 6 bunks, including one double-sized bunk bed in each room.
The ponds directly in front of the lodge, and the native bush from directly behind, provide a serene setting for the lodge. The flying fox offers hours of fun and the walks on the property are a great option for stretching the legs while taking in the views.
At night, gather around the campfire for a singalong and stargazing. See the glow of the lights of Hamilton behind the hills and hear the morepork calling from the branches.
If you're looking for a place to gather with friends somewhere away from the madness of the modern world, this is it.

“ Outlook Lodge is a slice of heaven. The beautiful scenery provided breathtaking views as we relaxed on the balcony and lounged around the fire pit. The rustic lodge is comfortable and equipped with everything you need. The cooler boxes worked a treat, and the shower has amazing water pressure, which was a pleasant surprise! I would 100% stay here again. Hamish and Julie were so nice but also gave us our privacy. A total escape from reality. ”

“ Absolutely loved our stay at Outlook Lodge. It is such a beautiful spot overlooking the rolling farm hills. Hamish was so lovely to deal with and spoke to us at length each time he dropped off ice packs for the chilly bins. He was so friendly and talked about the farm and his family. A really nice Kiwi farm getaway that I highly recommend. ”
