The lodge is handy to a variety of local activities and attractions. These include the nearby Tokarahi Golf Course, the Vanished World Fossil Trail and the Elephant Rocks (where Chronicles of Narnia was filmed). The Danseys Pass and Maerewhenua River provide rattling rocks and good fishing, with a scenic drive through to Naseby and the curling rink.
