Dune Lakes Lodge - Retreat & Horses
4. Dune Lakes Lodge - Retreat & Horses
1 site · Lodging · South Head
Dune Lakes Retreat & Horse Inspired Learning Centre is nestled on the wild South Kaipara Head Peninsula, just 60 minutes from Auckland CBD, yet it feels far removed from everyday life. Set among ancient sand hills, pristine wetlands, native bush, and the calm waters of Lake Kereta — a rare freshwater dune lake — this is a landscape shaped by deep time, quiet balance and wonderful for safe swimming.
The South Kaipara Head is an ancient sand barrier separating the vast Kaipara Harbour from the Tasman Sea. Between the dunes, groundwater has gathered over thousands of years to form freshwater lakes and wetlands that filter water, support rich biodiversity, and create a profound sense of calm.
Guests may choose from a range of camping sites — some nestled near the wetlands, others more open with wide skies and lake views. Facilities include excellent water quality, toilets, and showers. Accommodation includes the Flying Horse Barn with three studio rooms at $150 per night per room, and a cabin available for $100 per night (bring your own linen/towels etc or $25 extra per stay for supplied linen for all accommodation)
To the west lies the dramatic Muriwai / Rangatira coastline with sweeping Tasman Sea sunsets. To the east is the sheltered Kaipara Harbour, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere and a vital feeding ground for marine life and migratory birds such as godwits, knots, plovers, and terns. A quiet lagoon to the north shelters swans, ducks, pūkeko, paradise shelduck, kingfisher, fantail, warbler, and silvereye.
At dawn, birdsong fills the air. At dusk, frogs rise in chorus, and from deep within the reedbeds the rare Australasian bittern calls — a nationally threatened bird whose presence signals an intact wetland.
The retreat is also home to a free-roaming herd of horses at the Horse Inspired Learning Centre. The horses are free-roaming, barefoot, unridden, and without covers. Mindful, non-riding interactions grounded in Natural Horse Friendship and Equine-Assisted Learning sessions are available by arrangement at $250 per morning session)
A place to rest, reflect, and reconnect — where land, water, wildlife, horses, and quiet beauty meet.

Their idea for opening Terako Downs was born from their love of sharing. Coming out of owning a business in Dunedin, they felt it a shame not to share their artefacts and the beauty of the property. And they also wanted to be able to pay for the lawn mowing guy.

Nestled between Whakatāne and Matatā in the beautiful Bay of Plenty, Thornton Beach is closer than Ōhope for many visitors and offers the quintessential New Zealand beach holiday: sun, surf, space to unwind, and plenty of fun for the whole family.
Wake up to the sound of the waves, step straight onto the sand, and soak in uninterrupted views of Whale Island right in front of the park, with White Island visible in the distance. With the ocean on one side and the Rangitāiki River just metres away, you’re surrounded by nature at its very best.
Thornton Beach is famous for its incredible fishing. Cast off from the shore and try your luck surfcasting towards Whale Island, or launch your boat from the boat ramp just 200m from the park and head out to deeper waters. This is one of the Bay of Plenty’s top spots to drop a line.
Thornton Beach may be quiet and tranquil, but there’s no shortage of adventure. If you’re keen to get out on the water, SUP boards and kayaks are available for hire.

Creatives at heart, Debbie and Frits both love the arts. They love listening to music, collecting vintage pieces (both clothing and artefacts that you can view in their museum!) & hosting dinner parties and events. Their idea for opening Terako Downs was born from their love of sharing. Coming out of owning a business in Dunedin, they felt it a shame not to share their artefacts and the beauty of the property. And they also wanted to be able to pay for the lawn mowing guy.

We are a small farm in a beautiful rural village on the outskirts of Auckland. As well as being a lovely village we are close to beaches, forests & bush walks. We are close enough to Auckland for Daytrips if you want to experience the Big Smoke and far enough away to be away from the hub Bub of city life. We are approx halfway between Auckland city and Hamilton City so a great stop off point if travelling North or South

Nestled between Whakatāne and Matatā in the beautiful Bay of Plenty, Thornton Beach is closer than Ōhope for many visitors and offers the quintessential New Zealand beach holiday: sun, surf, space to unwind, and plenty of fun for the whole family.
Wake up to the sound of the waves, step straight onto the sand, and soak in uninterrupted views of Whale Island right in front of the park, with White Island visible in the distance. With the ocean on one side and the Rangitāiki River just metres away, you’re surrounded by nature at its very best.
Thornton Beach is famous for its incredible fishing. Cast off from the shore and try your luck surfcasting towards Whale Island, or launch your boat from the boat ramp just 200m from the park and head out to deeper waters. This is one of the Bay of Plenty’s top spots to drop a line.
Thornton Beach may be quiet and tranquil, but there’s no shortage of adventure. If you’re keen to get out on the water, SUP boards and kayaks are available for hire.

When we first turned up to Sommerfeldt Farm, the view took our breath away. It was simply beautiful. It was the calm we needed. We really enjoyed our over night stay and am excited to return.
Judith was excellent and so accommodating, it made the stay easy.

The site perfectly located close to Hobbiton, Rotorua and Tauranga. We were tent camping. The host is great and trails provided to explore nature. We found that site may be more suitable for trailers and caravans because of proximity of the road.

This site was great, and the work they are doing to restore the jungle is awesome. Our only complaint was the motorway being so close there were no peaceful nature moments until very late at night.

Amazing place for solitude and a stunning view within striking distance of Hobbiton and Zealong Estate. Stuart was fantastic..led us on an intrepid drive up the farm race and we ended up perched on a hill with an endless view and a stunning sunrise. Lovely walks on stunning farmland. Thank you Stuart for your kindness and generous spirit.

Terako Downs is a perfect stop, off the beaten path a bit but one of the only campsites I could find to accommodate us in the area.
We got in around 1030 pm, we would have liked to have gotten there sooner. Other travellers were there and having a fireplace hang out. So worth popping into the museum/kitchen area to see about socialising.
Debbie greeted us in the morning, such a friendly, interesting lady! Great vibes at Terako Downs 🤙
