Peel Forest Lodge

$$$$ | 96 Brake Rd., Geraldine, New Zealand

Tucked in among giant kahikatea trees and native forest, and overlooking Little Mt. Peel (which isn't so little), this comfortable log lodge provides a haven of peace and quiet. Opened as a hunting and fishing lodge it's a nice getaway if you want to experience the great outdoors without hiking miles up into the hills. There are four bedrooms—two share a bathroom—all looking out to the mountains. You can self-cater, have breakfast provided, or request a fully catered service. Nearby there's rafting, fishing, hunting, horse trekking, hiking, helicopter tours, and visits to Mesopotamia Station up in the high country. It's available for exclusive bookings only.

Pros

  • Café and bar just down the road at Peel Forest village
  • Full kitchen for your use
  • Big schist fireplace in the lounge

Cons

  • A few trophy heads on the walls, which might not be for everyone
  • Can sometimes be booked out for weddings
  • You will need a car to get here
