Conferences at Furneaux Lodge
Looking for a stunning alternative to the usual conference venue?
The Furneaux Lodge is a unique, boutique hotel set in absolute wilderness. A gracious historic lodge offering personal service, cosy and inviting atmosphere, no distractions - mobile phones have no coverage - and a refreshing natural environment embraced by virgin native bush on the shore of the Endeavour Inlet. Absolute contrast to any office environment in New Zealand.
