From the soothing sound of the Mokihinui River to our famously comfortable beds, you'll experience the relaxation you deserve in Rough and Tumble Bush Lodge's beautifully appointed guest rooms. The five rooms, each named after a Mokihinui River gold mine from the 1870s, feature ensuite bathrooms, handcrafted finishing touches, and sweeping views of the Glasgow Range.

You'll be pampered after a day of activity, with organic shampoo and conditioner, home made soap, plentiful hot water provided by solar panels and an electric booster, gas heating, double glazing and insect-screened windows (while sandflies are an important part of the ecosystem, we prefer not to sleep with them!).

Each guest room accommodates up to four people, with beds configured as kings or two singles both downstairs and upstairs in our trademark 'bird's-eye view' lofts. They're great for groups or families ... although you may have to compete for first dibs on the lofts.

Our five luxury wilderness guest rooms feature:

• Supremely comfortable beds with quality linens.
• Unique upstairs 'bird's-eye view' lofts.
• Large insect-screened picture windows both downstairs and upstairs.
• Views of native virgin rainforest and the Glasgow Range.
• Original local art and historical maps.
• Privacy and serenity.
• Beds configured as kings or two singles both downstairs and upstairs.
• Direct vented gas heating.
• Ensuite facilities with showers; plentiful hot water powered by solar with electric boost.
• Bathroom heaters.
• Wheelchair accessible bathroom (in Southern Light).

The views out the large picture windows take you through magnificent virgin native bush terraces up the flanks of the Glasgow Range to the rocky tussock tops, 1,500 metres above. You'll have a birds-eye view of massive ancient rata trees, and of an uninterrupted night sky.

You may well come eye-to-eye with a bellbird or tui, as it flits from rata blossoms to kamahi. At night, leave the window open and listen to the distinctive call of the morepork (native owl).

As in the main lodge, the guest rooms feature handcrafted trim and furniture made from native timber (kahikatea, red beech, hinau, rata) milled onsite and crafted to give each room its own warm, welcoming personality.
