We are very proud to say we have achieved our Adventure Mark accreditation. Safety is paramount at Kokako Lodge, and it is our promise to make this our continued focus every day of our operations.

If you require any of our Safety Management Systems documentation, please do not hesitate to discuss this with the Office at your earliest convenience.

A significant part of what we do is educating young people (primary and intermediate schools) through to young adults (colleges and tertiary) on the benefits of EOTC (Education Outside the Classroom). Even though it is a really fun experience to be here, the focus is more on education – the students are here on their Rural Campus as an extension of their schools.

We really strive for authentic cross-curricular learning opportunities. This means taking what they have learned in the classroom (from maths to science to art) and applying it in a practical way that not only cements that learning but gives greater practical advantage to it.

Consistent with our values, we try and encourage healthy eating and appropriate exercise. We address motivation by first acknowledging it is a problem in most people’s lives then starting first with self-acceptance. The end result is better eating and activity habits, an appreciation of how outdoor active recreation can add value to our lives (for work or play) and the ability to bring what was learnt in the classroom out into real life.

As soon as you travel from your familiar environment at home or work, and come into our serene and natural environment, you will step into a whole new world. You can use your time here at the Lodge for any reason you want from relaxing/dispute resolution, through to team building/corporate strategy or a challenging growth session.

We offer our venue on a ‘dry-hire’ basis (where you have exclusive use of our facilities and arrange what you will do on your own), or with a comprehensive range of activities created for you, or a combination of the both.
