Kawatiri Costal Trail Luxury Accommodation
Kawatiri Coastal Trail Accommodation
Just a few minutes from the Kawatiri Coastal Trail, Birds Ferry Lodge offers a peaceful retreat where comfort, nature and indulgence come together.
After a day exploring the trail, whether cycling the full coastal route or enjoying a leisurely walk along the boardwalks and beaches, return to a place designed for complete relaxation. Sink into a comfortable bed with fine linens, soak in the hot tub surrounded by native gardens, and savour a delicious chef-prepared dinner featuring seasonal produce from our own gardens and local farms.
Our two luxury ensuite rooms each have extensive decks with panoramic views of the mountains and sea, perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine as the sun sets. Breakfast is a highlight, homemade, generous and the ideal start to another day’s adventure.
We can cater to cyclists and walkers of all abilities, with secure bike storage, laundry facilities, packed lunches by arrangement and easy access to multiple trail sections. Whether you are planning a multi-day ride or a short escape to the coast, Birds Ferry Lodge is your ideal base for the Kawatiri Coastal Trail. We offer preferential pricing for Kiwi cyclists so please contact us directly stay@birdsferrylodge.com or call Alison 0272690905
Stay a while, rest well and let us take care of the details so you can simply enjoy the trail, the scenery and the serenity.
