About the lodge

Perched on a hillside overlooking the Hauraki Gulf, this spot really lets you take in the wonders of Coromandel. And trust us, the views never get old. We are a quick drive to town and a 6-minute drive in either direction to a gorgeous bay; it’s pretty hard to beat.

With approximately 80% of NZ’s flowering plants, trees, and ferns being endemic, it’s a dreamy experience to be so close to New Zealand's native flora. From the towering Rimu, the tall, swaying manuka and kanuka, the majestic kauri trees to the bright ferns and harakeke, Buffalo Lodge’s surroundings are adorned with nature's artwork.

At Buffalo Lodge, we're blessed with the presence of native birdlife. Awaken to the melodious songs of tui and the gentle hums of kereru, and as dusk descends, be serenaded by the calls of ruru and, if you’re lucky, the elusive kiwi. Sitting on the deck at sunset, watching the spectacle of the birds swooping and chasing one another across the sky, it's a mesmerising sight to behold.

We are in the process of creating tracks on the land so you can walk amongst the native bush, alongside the babbling creek, amidst the hum of insects and birds. Outside of our developing bush paths, another path leads you to our fruit orchard, where we encourage you to help yourself to a selection of plums, peaches, feijoa, apples, persimmons, grapefruit, lemons, limes, and figs.
