2024 Trip Leader's winter special
If you lead a Tararua Lodge trip during August or September 2024, for any night you have 3 or more adults or youths staying at the lodge on your trip, you, the trip leader, will only pay summer rates, that’s $25 a night for you.
In addition, for any night you have 10 or more adults or youths staying at the lodge on your trip, as leader your night will be free.
The trip leader will be refunded fees after the trip, based on the numbers actually staying each night.
End of winter 2024 special
We will start summer rates for all on 1st Oct 2024. Summer rates normally do not start until after Labour weekend so make the most of our unique alpine accommodation in late winter 2024.

Hiring Tararua Lodge
The Tararua Tramping Club (TTC) encourages other groups to benefit from the use of Tararua Lodge, particularly over the summer period.
The TTC will supply a club member to help new groups run the lodge.
Tararua Lodge is especially suitable for school groups, tramping clubs, geology trips, etc.
Tararua Lodge availability
Tararua Lodge has a high availability over the summer months with only a few TTC club trips using it.
During the peak ski season (August to October) the lodge is usually utilised by TTC club members and availability is limited to outside groups.
TTC plans its winter usage in May, so winter bookings made by May stand the best chance of being accommodated.
Otherwise Tararua Lodge can be booked for any day except for those that are listed on the fixture card as having a club trip there.
A 'lodge day' usually runs from 5pm to 5pm.
