"A sophisticated and elegant response to a very precious and beautiful environment".
Paramata Lodge is a luxury B and B with dining, providing wilderness adventure activities at a secluded location. Expansive views from all rooms, with indigenous forest stretching from the Southern Alps to the Tasman Sea, this natural haven is perfect for relaxation and exploration.
Situated five kilometres off State Highway 6 between Hokitika and Franz Josef Glacier it is three hours drive from Christchurch.
Three double suites, spacious lounges, and decks offer an inviting boutique atmosphere and enveloping peace. Selected natural materials and sustainable design features blend with handcrafted artistry and quality fittings to achieve an Arts and Craft style with comforts. Small numbers of guests minimises the impact on the environment and personal hospitality is second to none.
The cuisine is created from home-grown organic produce picked daily from the Paramata gardens and attracting great compliments. A selection of quality New Zealand wines and beverages adds to the dining experience.
One-hour guided tours (included in the tariff) introduce the natural environment.

Owner/hosts Kathy and Neil (recycle-artist/educator) willingly share their extensive knowledge blending local history with ecology.
