Mataura Lodge | Your Private Rural Retreat
Mataura Lodge History
Mataura Lodge comes with unique Southland and Otago history. Starting life in the King Edward Army Barracks, built circa 1939, the building served to accommodate soldiers during wartimes. It then moved on to become a temporary home for New Zealand immigrants, seeking a new life in this beautiful country. Although the building has been completely renovated, original features remain. The floor boards in the main living area have been lovely restored and refitted, meaning you will be walking on a small part of history.
Moved to its new home in Athol in 1992, the building has been the passion project for some talented builders and decorators, resulting in a comfortable and stylish home away from home for guests, now open has Mataura Lodge.
