Our next trip along the Kenepuru took us to another lodge – Raetihi. This is a popular site and often it is closed for functions like weddings. Best to ring beforehand. They have a wharf but given the tidal ranges we anchored off and took the tender in.

The lodge from the sound

A close up of the lodge, we had a nice lunch. It is accessible by road. Lovely grounds with native birds.
