Right next door to the lodge is the Rapaura Tennis Club, founded in the 19th century, offering six well-manicured grass courts for tennis games during the summer months.
Bring your own racquet or choose from a selection at the lodge and have a friendly hit or a formal match in this lovely rural setting.
“We loved our stay. The staff is lovely. The grounds are beautiful.”
We loved it
“Our favourite place in New Zealand. From the moment owner Peter White welcomed us, we knew we were in a special place. Peter has lived all over the world (Australia, England, Canada and now New Zealand). We started out our stay with a lovely talk about wine. (This is the Marlborough wine country). And an invitation to walk among their grape vines. And the food? Well, I wish our foodie son had been with us! I will always remember the pomegranate molasses dessert with a swish of cheesecake underneath, nestled up against white chocolate and pistachios. Oh my. Truly loved ALL the staff! Both professional AND friendly. Felt sad driving out the lavender-lined driveway. Would be a great place for a wedding!”
