Muirs Reef Lodge

The MOST incredible stay while we have been in NZ. We have been touring the country on our honeymoon and were lucky enough to grab a few nights stay at the lodge. The location could not be beat. With just a small drive to both Kinloch and Taupō, we were able to experience the best parts of both areas. The lodge itself was comfortable with a beautiful view. Would recommend this stay to anyone!

Incredible Spot

Hi, I had six nights end of November at Muirs Reef Lodge. What a wonderful location and stunning lodge.
Perfect location, close to Kinloch township but you feel you are in a private wilderness.
The view from the lodge straight down to the Lake with uninterrupted and spectacular views of the mountains in the distance was so relaxing. Sitting on the verandah with a coffee and a book was lovely.
The lodge itself is beautifully furnished and equipped with high quality linen and bedding.
Having ensuites to every bedroom is a great, especially for groups of friends.
The kitchen is very well equipped with everything to make your stay enjoyable while preparing meals,with a spectacular view.
George is a wonderful host who is more than happy to help with any needs.
I will certainly be returning. Five Stars 🌟

Wonderful Retreat

This is a really special property. I stayed with my 2 teenage sons and 6yr daughter and it was warm, welcoming, incredibly peaceful, and relaxing for all three of us. It’s beautifully decorated with a stunning outlook, big lawn for the kids, trampoline, and the outdoor baths are next level. The attention to detail for guests, and responsiveness of the hosts is excellent. I would happily return with my kids, my plus-one, a group of friends or broader family, or just me! It easily caters for lots of different holiday/getaway scenarios. The heating is very, very good, including the bedrooms so works for winter or summer. We stayed while my son played at a football tournament in Taupo and the drive in was easy and quick. Kinloch store and village is only a 5-7min drive away so there’s all the benefit of being in a really peaceful, secluded space, but not being ages away if you need more milk or a flat white!

Amazing place!

We had an enjoyable and memorable weekend here as a group of four couples. Loved the tranquil instantly relaxing peace and quiet vibe of the place. Those views to the mountains were mesmerising, especially with the stunning sunset we had. The hot outdoor baths were a nice touch on a starry night, couldn’t bring myself to do a cold plunge in there in the morning though. The experience of yarns and drinks around the outside fire really cranking out the heat was great. The inside is spacious even with 8 of us there, and the fireplaces and heat pumps keep it very cozy and warm. The beds are comfy, and it was nice having our own ensuite bathroom. Very grateful to have stayed here - thank you!

Primo place

What a beautifully decorated, comfortable, warm and well appointed house. Such a tranquil spot, with truly picturesque views. 

We were a group of 4 couples catching up for a weekend, and we were not disappointed! So spacious for eight people. Very warm with two efficient fires. Heat pump too, but didn’t need it. Lovely big living areas with high ceilings, great bedrooms with comfortable beds and good quality linen. A bathroom for each room which was very much appreciated. Stunning views from the living areas, kitchen and covered deck. Easy kitchen to work in, though we took awhile to work out the induction hob. 

We enjoyed sitting outside around the fire, chatting with a glass of wine. Pumps out the heat too! Being May it was cool but that wasn’t an issue as the fire was amazing! 

The outside baths were great for a soak, and to take in the view of the lake and majestic mountains. Who said you couldn’t live in a view! 

Kinloch township was fun to visit, good coffee and most things on offer in the general store. We enjoyed the walking trails down to the lake, and will be back to do the other tracks. A memorable weekend, thank you.
