THE LAST RESORT

Escape to The Last Resort, a hidden gem high above the rugged Wairarapa coast, offering a unique 1 or 2-night stay with 2-3 days of stunning trails through native bush, across cattle farmland and streams and coast with your best friend (the dog) - not a road in sight!

After an 11km well marked trail, you reach your destination The Last Resort, 320m above sea level, with huge views looking up the Tora coast and out over the vast Pacific Ocean. Discover a quaint bushman’s cottage with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable dining facilities, a wood burner and board games.

Your accommodation, ‘The Roost’, is just a few steps down the garden path, with stunning views towards the rising sun. Enjoy the evening indoors, in the garden or the hot tub!

Whether you’re seeking an adventure with friends, or a family getaway, The Last Resort has you covered.

Your bags and food are transported for you, so you can focus on soaking up the breath taking native bush, coastal views, dark skies, and peaceful surroundings.

For those who would like more of an adventure, cycling or horse riding options are also available.

Your hosts are Georgie and Ben Lutyens who look forward to welcoming you to their slice of heaven. Whether it’s lighting the fire on a cold day or popping your food and drinks into the fridge so they’re

chilled when you get there, Georgie and Ben go the extra mile to ensure your stay is truly memorable.
