Where the road ends, your adventure begins - nature, tranquility, and just the right amount of ‘off the grid’ charm

THE LAST RESORT

Escape to The Last Resort, a hidden gem on the rugged Wairarapa coast, offering a unique rustic 1 or 2-night stay paired with 2-3 days of stunning walking trails through varied native bush - not a road in sight.

Once you reach your destination you’ll discover ‘The Old Place’ with a fully equipped kitchen to prepare your food and comfortable dining facilities.

Your separate accommodation, ‘The Roost’, is 320m above sea level, overlooks Tora and the Pacific Ocean and the rising sun. 

Whether you’re seeking an adventure with friends, or a family getaway, The Last Resort has you covered. Your bags and food are seamlessly transported for you, so you can focus on soaking up the breathtaking native bush, epic coastal views, dark skies, and tranquil atmosphere. For those who like to mix it up, cycling or horse riding options are also available.

The experience is made even more special by your hosts, Georgie and Ben Lutyens, who are happy to welcome you to their slice of paradise.

Whether it’s lighting the fire on a cold day or popping your food and drinks into the fridge so they’re chilled when you get there, Georgie and Ben go the extra mile to ensure your stay is truly memorable.
