Lake Aniwhenua Lodge, Motel
Affordable Picturesque accommodation
A warm welcome to Lake Aniwhenua Lodge Motel.
Whether you require a quiet weekend away or an extended retreat, we provide a wonderful relaxed atmosphere for our guests. Wake up to nothing more than natural bird song in the morning.
Look out over the beautiful expanse of Lake Aniwhenua and watch the ducks, swans and bird life on the water. Watch the ripples appear as trout rise and break the surface. Witness some of the magnificent sun sets that reflect the brilliant,pink, orange and red hues across the lake. Amble around the gardens and across the wooden board walk.
Private access to the lake is a mere stroll through the back gate.
