Karen & Daryl
Skylark Lodge is a stand-alone one bedroom Lodge. The property is secluded and peaceful. It is accessed by a kilometre long driveway through native bush and offers views across the Waimate Valley and out to Cape Brett. The Lodge features a beautiful stone bath inside and a private spa pool outside. Lie back and marvel at the Milky Way.
Your hosts Daryl and Karen relocated to Northland to be closer to family and enjoy a quieter lifestyle than their previous lives as a cabinetmaker and police officer allowed. They were delighted when they bought their amazing property and realised it was such a special spot that it should be shared. So they set about planning and creating an idyllic self-contained retreat. Skylark Lodge has just been completed (to their exacting standards) and is now ready for you to enjoy.
Exceptional dining, boutique shopping, historic landmarks and plenty of outdoor activities in the area, you can do as much or as little as you like.
