Blue Duck Lodge Ltd

Blue Duck Lodge is a unique, fully self-contained lodge created for visitors to experience the beauty of Retaruke's natural surroundings.

Set in the centre of Ruapehu's natural playground with plenty of outdoor activities just minutes from the lodge, it provides a comfortable base from which to explore.

Immediately surrounding you is the Whanganui National Park's rainforest of native bush full of waterfalls, streams, native trees, birds, blue ducks and flora as well and the Retaruke and Wanganui Rivers.

Explore by walking, kayaking, canoeing, jet boat tours, or a mustering farm tour. One hour from Mt Ruapehu, ideal to explore the dual world heritage Tongariro National Park.
