Our Story
Te Koha estate was originally a boutique lodge catering mainly for international tourists. Since Covid 19 and the closure of our borders, we have reimagined our business for the short term holiday rental market. This means each room on our property has been curated to a world class standard offering every guest the personal space, luxury, comfort and idyllic views that you would expect from a 5 star boutique lodge.
