Peace and tranquility in a natural forest setting where the Southern Alps provide a dramatic backdrop and the Tasman Sea, a moody western expanse. Paramata Lodge is an arts and craft style luxury accommodation with three guest bedrooms, spacious lounges and library, all with views. Your personal hosts provide guided wilderness tours into the surrounding forest and coastal wetland environments offering interesting historic perspective while exploring nature’s dynamic interplays. Wildlife encounters may suggest that things haven’t changed for centuries! Tours (with a conservation permit) are conducted either walking or by boat, and miles of remote sandy beach can be explored at your leisure. All meals are created from home grown produce using Central European influences and fresh Pacific flavours. Paramata Lodge is centrally located for exploring the region’s main attractions. 30mins drive to Hokitika, 1.10 hour to Franz Josef Glacier. There are 3 fishing rivers within five km from the lodge.
