Hiring Tararua Lodge
The Tararua Tramping Club (TTC) encourages other groups to benefit from the use of Tararua Lodge, particularly over the summer period.
The TTC will supply a club member to help new groups run the lodge.
Tararua Lodge is especially suitable for school groups, tramping clubs, geology trips, etc.
