Set on a private peninsula on the shores of legendary Lake Tarawera, Solitaire Lodge’s 10 luxurious suites feature panoramic views of the glassy lake and magnificent volcano, Mount Tarawera.
Never has a place been more aptly named than Solitaire Lodge. Minutes from your doorstep you will discover secluded private bays, hot water beaches, majestic forest waterfalls and natural thermal hot springs beckoning you to soak in.
Feeling adventurous? Embark on a scenic helicopter ride over volcanic peaks, skim across the lake in a kayak, set sail on a boat charter, or enjoy world-class trout-fishing.
The lodge is also the perfect setting to simply relax, indulge and rejuvenate. Unwind with a decadent spa treatment, take a leisurely bushwalk, or sip a glass of champagne while relaxing in the terrace spa pool. Your warm, friendly hosts take delight in satisfying your every whim.
Renowned for its fine dining, the lodge serves mouth-watering modern New Zealand cuisine prepared with fresh local produce and complemented by superb wines from surrounding vineyards. Engage in lively conversation with fellow guests in the lodge’s dining room, or choose an intimate dinner in your suite or on the terrace.
