Tourism West Coast 2009 Awards finalist


Click here for luxury bed and breakfasts, lodges, boutique accommodation & exquisite hospitality throughout New Zealand (NZ).

From the front deck you can just about cast a fishing line into the mighty Mokihinui River. From each room, the jagged edge of the Glasgow Range silhouettes an untouched sky. Any direction you listen or look, you're immersed in the native wilderness of the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. This is the world of the Rough and Tumble Bush Lodge, providing friendly hospitality and boutique wilderness lodge accommodation.

Conveniently located midway between Westport and Karamea, our rustic luxury wilderness lodge is an ideal base for exploring all the Northern West Coast has to offer ... from wild bush and beaches to mountains and rivers, the incredible Oparara Arches and Honeycomb Hills Caves to the renowned Charming Creek Walkway.

If going deep means adventure, name your activity, have a hearty breakfast and you're away. If your journey is of the spirit, contemplation and rejuvenation await. For business teams, here's a chance to model that "out of the box" thinking at your choice of retreat sites. Wedding parties can relax and enjoy a memorable occasion in an unforgettable setting, while families and friends can reunite and reconnect in the comfort of their own wilderness lodge.
