Nestled deep in the South Island of NZ, Hidden Valley Lodge is a best kept secret for those who have visited it.New Zealand The Lodge is located enroute to Greymouth from Christchurch. The road to the COAST as the West Coast is known to South Islanders takes you from Christchurch city across the Canterbury plains to the majestic Southern Alps which dissect the east and west coasts.

The drive through the mountains is truly a magical and breathtaking experience with the snow capped mountains and native forest running down to the numerous lakes and rivers.
On reaching Arthurs Pass, a beautiful alpine village set in the national park, it is a 45min drive down the rugged Otira gorge and through the pristine west coast bush (rainforest).
An alternative is to catch the world famous Tranzalpine Train listed among the top 8 train journeys in the world. The train passes below the lodge and pick up can be arranged from one of 2 stops near the lodge. 
With magnificent panoramic views of the foothills of the Southern Alps, the Lodge overlooks
Lake Poerua, a private and secluded lake with limited public access.
