A country estate with a working orchard and a luxury lodge in tranquil country settings where service, exquisite cuisine and the art of hosting are carefully blended into a culture of sincere dedication towards the well-being of our guests.

The luxury lodge is set amid 40 acres of gardens, rocky creeks and subtropical plantations. Fantail Lodge blends nature’s tranquillity with an inspiration for true class.

The Estate has its own restaurant ‘Chapeau’, specialising in the utilisation of produce from the immediate region.

The lodge’s restaurant is among the leading provincial restaurants in the Bay Of Plenty with owner Harrie Geraerts often giving the finishing touch to the creations himself.

His uncompromising commitment to dedicated service and fine cuisine receives ongoing rewards. We cater for houseguests, private dinner functions, small and large, special occasions and celebrations.

Menus at the lodge are traditionally ‘free style’ in order to accommodate the freshest and available produce. For larger tables or groups menus can be arranged in advance.

The emphasis is on local gourmet fare, featuring (estate grown) fresh, local produce & award winning wines.

The superb accommodation is set amidst the rich horticultural grounds in the Katikati region and has various room configuration options.

With state of the art ‘fibre optic’ (wireless) broadband, comfortable under floor heating & park like views, you will experience the ultimate Katikati ambiance.

The accredited Fantail Lodge team welcomes special requests and with notice, nothing is impossible.
