ABOUT MURIWAI LODGE
Muriwai Lodge and its campground have been part of the Muriwai Beach experience for over a century. The original Lodge building was constructed in 1921 and opened in 1922, quickly becoming a much-loved hub for locals and visitors alike. Over the years, it has been a place to stay, a place to eat and drink, and a place to stock up on essentials. For many, the legendary takeaways from the Top Shop at Muriwai Lodge are part of their Muriwai memories.
​
In 2019, all activity on the site came to a halt. The Lodge remained closed until May 2021, when the property was purchased by new owners and the Muriwai Lodge revival began. Now, despite Covid closures & damaging Cyclones, Muriwai Lodge is once again a busy, welcoming place to gather and stay!
Whether you are visiting for a short weekend stay or a longer break of up to a month, there is an accommodation option to suit couples, families, and friend.
​
Our accommodation can be used to host small retreats or workshops by combining the use of both apartments and still being able to enjoy the solitude & peace of our cabins. If you need more information or would like to take a tour to assess whether we can meet your requirements, you are always welcome to get in touch.
We encourage you to stay, explore and enjoy the richness of Muriwai Beach. Spend your days discovering coastal walks, surf breaks, and local experiences, or slow things down and enjoy the beach, bush, and birdlife that sweep across the valley.
During your stay, be sure to visit the Muriwai Deli & Bar and browse for gifts and souvenirs at The Little Coolstore, both located on the ground floor of the Lodge building. During the summer months treat yourself to a fabulous real fruit icecream from Oolala Icecream.
​
Alongside the Lodge accommodation, we are also pleased to offer Muriwai Outlook, a unique standalone two-bedroom home on Waitea Road with stunning views along Muriwai Beach. This is a great option for guests wanting a little more space and privacy, while still being close to everything Muriwai has to offer. If you have a small celebration or wedding there is no better place to make memories than this precious place.
We look forward to hosting you and sharing the magic of Muriwai.
