Internationally renowned Tongariro Lodge for sale


Tongariro Lodge, nestled in park-like grounds on the Tongariro Riverbanks at Lake Taupo's southern end, has welcomed notable guests like former US President Jimmy Carter and actors Liam Neeson, Robert Mitchum, and Timothy Dalton. Founded in 1982 by renowned angler Tony Hayes, the lodge was a pioneer in New Zealand's luxury lodge industry, quickly becoming a leader in providing high-end accommodation.

The 9.1-hectare property accommodates up to 110 guests in villas and chalets in park like grounds surrounded by mature trees. The main lodge features cozy lounges with open fires and walls adorned with trout fishing trophies. Known for catering to high-end guests seeking privacy and outdoor adventure, the lodge has also diversified its offerings to include conferences, corporate retreats, and weddings, ensuring resilience and growth, particularly post-pandemic.

With the return of international travellers, favourable exchange rates, and increasing airline capacity, Tongariro Lodge is well-positioned for future growth. There are opportunities for expansion on three potential development sites within the compound, offering the potential to double the current accommodation capacity. Alternatively, new owners could maintain the lodge's exclusive atmosphere while leveraging its international reputation, featured in major fishing and travel publications.

The lodge's prime location on New Zealand's top trout fishing river also provides easy access to the Tongariro Crossing, the country's most popular one-day walk, as well as activities like golf, skiing, rafting, and mountain biking. Positioned between Auckland and Wellington, it's highly accessible, with Taupo's airport a 40-minute drive away.

The property includes a luxurious main lodge, 10 one-bedroom chalets, seven villas, and management agreements for eight additional villas. Additional amenities include a manager's home, service block, spa pool, helipad, petanque area, and tennis court, making it a prime investment in New Zealand's luxury lodge market.

Asking Price NZ$10,400,000 + GST (if any)
