Overview
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. Grasmere Lodge — High Country Retreat — where luxury and natural splendour come together in the heart of the Southern Alps, to form what one international guest described as “a whole other world of peacefulness & serenity.”
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.
