Hosted Wilderness Escapes on the West Coast
A Nature Escape at Lake Brunner Eco Lodge is your chance to step out of your everyday life and into stillness. Nestled in the native bush on the West Coast, our hosted wilderness lodge offers calm, comfort, and connection without the effort of planning or organising.
Every stay is fully hosted. Meals are prepared. Experiences are ready. Evenings unfold slowly. You arrive, settle in, and let the wilderness do what it does best.
Slow down. Breathe Deeper. Let us handle everything.
This Is More Than Accommodation
This is not a place where you cook, schedule, or decide what comes next. It’s a place where your time opens up. Forest trails begin at the lodge. Kayaks wait on the lake. Glowworms emerge after dark. Dinner is ready when the winds down.
Hosting is woven through every part of your stay, so you can focus on resting, reconnecting, and being present.
One Night Feels Complete. Longer Stays Feel Transformative.
Each Hosted Nature Escape is thoughtfully designed to feel whole, even in a single night. Many guests choose to stay longer. Letting the pace slow further, the bush feels closer, and the evenings stretch out naturally.
You can choose how long you stay and how indulgent it feels. We take care of everything either way.
