Grasmere Lodge
Canterbury

Built in 1858, the original limestone homestead, now the core of the lodge, introduces you to the style of personal pampering that earned the Harper's Hideaway Report Grand Award in 1998. At the same time this traditional New Zealand high country station (ranch), set amid towering 7000 ft peaks, provides a wide range of outdoor activities for those seeking a more adventurous interlude. Grasmere Lodge also offers a richness of traditional New Zealand hospitality. Owners, Oliver and Vicki Newbegin, and their staff epitomise New Zealand friendliness and generosity of spirit. Together they take great delight in sharing the magic of Grasmere with their guests.

Dining at New Zealand lodges is a key part of the whole experience. We know produce from our clean, green country is amongst the best in the world, and we want you to be able to taste it and appreciate it.
At Grasmere Lodge, we aim to provide the best of New Zealand produce, seasonal and preferably locally grown. The chefs check what fruit and vegetables are available in the markets and order accordingly, rather than bringing in exotic ingredients to try to impress. We want to present honest food elegantly, to make it easier for you to enjoy the flavours, without confusing the palate or disguising the taste. The meal might be elegant but we want you to relax. The dress code is smart casual – gentlemen, you don’t need a jacket and tie.
