Our Location
DUNE LAKES LODGE, SOUTH HEAD, AUCKLAND
Located about one hour from Auckland, Dune Lakes Lodge is a peaceful retreat sanctuary nestled among ancient sand dunes on the South Head of the Kaipara Harbour. Set on 37 acres of rolling pasture, wetlands, and native bush beside Lake Kereta, the land offers a deeply quiet and spacious environment ideal for inner work and reconnection with nature.
Surrounded by a herd of free-roaming horses and abundant birdlife, the retreat space invites a slower rhythm where participants can unwind, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. The nearby lake offers a beautiful natural setting for walks or a refreshing integration dip, while the distant sound of the ocean and wide open landscapes create a sense of calm and seclusion.
Accommodation at the venue is rustic, simple, and close to nature.
Options include private studio rooms, shared bunk rooms, cabins, and spaces for campervans or camping. Some cabins are off-grid with solar lighting and no mains electricity, offering a deeper immersion into nature and the peaceful surroundings of the land.
