Designed for two, the lodge is a warm and comfortable retreat, where we want you to feel right at home. Cook nourishing meals in your fully-equipped separate kitchen, have an easy BBQ, or simply pour a glass and soak in the oversized quartz stone bath, perfectly positioned in a private, covered corner of the deck. Beautiful wooden details throughout the space, repurposing century-old rimu wood, give the cabin a charming, rustic feel. When it’s time for sleep, close the blackout curtains, curl up into your orthopaedic super king bed and wrap yourself in Egyptian cotton bedding. The TV conveniently rotates to wherever you’re sitting. The en-suite bathroom with rain shower has fluffy towels, bathrobes, and amenities for your comfort.

Drift to sleep in a plush queen bed with lovely linens, then wake as sunlight streams through your picture-frame windows, bringing the outside world to your bedside.

Relax in the outdoor sauna, shower and freestanding bathtub where you can soak while drinking in valley views and birdsong. After wandering nature trails, beaches, or the artistic Raglan township, return to Venus and unwind to relax and embrace the comforting countryside.
