Overnight Retreats. Mindful hiking. Bike the Timber Trail. Team Building. Hands-on conservation.
Longer Retreats
Nestled in the Pureora Forest Park - right in the middle of nowhere - is the Timber Trail Lodge. Designed to be sustainable first, the lodge has a minimal impact on its stunning environment.
Pureora has a special place in New Zealand history as it is one of the last remaining intact podocarp forests in the world. It was one of the last native forests to be opened up for logging and in 1978 environmental protestors took to platforms in the trees to prevent further logging of native timber. The protests eventually led to the end of the logging, the forest becoming a protected area. A conservation success story, the forest is home to a range of native wildlife, including some remarkable birdlife.
The Timber trail lodge has 20 rooms, sleeping up to 45 people.

Your conservation contribution
Restoring nature's balance. The Timber Trail Lodge works hard to to control introduced predators such as rats, possums and stoats to help protect our native birds and wildlife. We have established and maintain a predator trapping programme and your company's contribution will help to extend the number of trapping lines around the lodge - with the option of getting hands-on too.
