Bushland Park Lodge & Retreat

Recharge surrounded by forests abundant in ferns, surrounded by rolling green hills above white sandy beaches, at Bushland Park Lodge & Retreat Whangamata.

The exclusive luxury retreat features just three spacious suites each designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation. Décor is rustic, elegant and romantic. The Twin Suite is the most spacious and offers an elevated panoramic view over the bush park and an open fireplace.

The philosophy of food artist and chef Reinhard Nickel is “sharing his passion with people who have passion”. He strives to find the perfect combination of flavours and textures to create the ideal dining experiences for guests. During warmer months take the opportunity to dine outdoors in a sheltered bush area.

Bird lovers will find a magnificent array of native birds to study on the two hectares of park-like grounds and manicured gardens. Discover a 300-year-old twin Kauri tree, or take a romantic soak in the private outdoor bath area. Add a magical touch to your stay by spending an evening in the Nikau fern grotto surrounded by hundreds of glow-worms. It’s the perfect place for a romantic proposal, or simply to reflect at the end of the day.
