Discovered by Captain Cook in 1770, Banks Peninsula protects Akaroa Harbour, home to Club Lavaud. In 1840 Club Lavaud's namesake, Captain Charles Lavaud, led 63 emigrants to settle the area and, through the Treaty of Waitangi, pronounced British sovereignty. However, these hearty French nationals remained to settle Akaroa. In 1850, many British joined the French settlers and so helped establish one of New Zealand's main whaling and fishing ports. Besides rich history, guests will find great relaxation and recreation in the area. Experience the beach, tennis, horseback riding, and golf, all within easy reach of the resort.
You'll find Kaimanawa Lodge in the town of Turangi at the southern end of Great Lake Taupo. The town is nestled in the bend of the mighty Tongariro River, bounded by the majestic mountains and the expansive lake. Moody. Powerful. Elemental. Breathtakingly beautiful! It is a place that eases itself into your soul and never leaves.<br /><br />Modern and comfortable, the resort is perfect for those wanting to make the most out of their New Zealand escape. During the winter months, the towering snow-capped mountains are a haven for winter sports and the air reverberates with the gentle whisper of skis on fresh fallen snow.<br /><br />In the warmer months, the mirror-like surface of the lake gets whipped into a frenzy of activity. There's everything from swimming, water skiing and paddle boarding to kayaking. While the adventurous can throw on a life vest and get an adrenaline hit with a little white-water rafting or jet boating in the nearby rivers. Brilliant fun! For those that prefer to keep their clothes on, there are plenty of bushwalks through spectacular countryside and, of course, you can always give trout fishing a go.<br /><br />A trip into Turangi is a must. It has a number of excellent restaurants serving fresh local cuisine, and cafés serve a mean espresso. A tour of a Turangi vineyard is a definite too. But whatever you do, make sure you take time to relax in one of the famous thermal pools. You'll feel the stress gently melt away. Exquisite! <br /><br />For a holiday with more, visit Kaimanawa Lodge.
