thames accommodation

Te Ana Lodge is a 1920s kauri villa situated in the Kauaeranga Valley only 5 minutes from Thames high street set among 3 acres of native bush. This holiday home has 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a super king size 4 poster bed and the 2nd bedroom a queen sized bed. The 3rd is a child's bedroom with bunks. The 4th bedroom has a single day bed. There are also 2 sofa beds in the lounge. All rooms are furnished and the only things you really need to bring are towels for the spa pool. There is a good supply of wood for the kitchen fire and a supply of basic food and cooking equipment. The food supply is communal. Feel free to use anything you need and leave unused food for the next guests.

The house is situated in the lower part of the Kauaeranga Valley just 5 minutes drive or 15 minutes cycle from Thames. You access the property via Te Ana Lane which is a small lane running off the left side of the Kauaeranga Valley road. From here the road turns into a track as it passes through bush land and the house is situated at the top of the hill on the right side. There is enough parking for 3 cars in front of the house although this spoils the view so it's just as easy to use the driveway at the rear of the house where there is space for 3 more cars next to the tractor.
