9 Karapiro Road is the ideal base camp and recreation venue for groups. Conveniently located just 5 minutes drive from Cambridge and Lake Karapiro, you’ll soon feel a world away in their secluded setting. Nestled amongst 62 acres of stunning woodland and native bush, all their accommodation is surrounded by nature and steeped in tranquillity.
Ian and his family have purpose-built this unique venue to cater for groups, offering flexible accommodation options designed with the needs of teams, schools and clubs in mind.
They offer a variety of accommodation options, from powered camper van sites to self-contained units with their own bathroom and kitchenette, dorm rooms and even an off-grid woodland hut which sits next to a pretty waterfall.
There are large, open spaces to mingle in and plenty of quiet corners for relaxation. Their commercial kitchen is well equipped for self-catering use, as well as outdoor BBQ facilities. If you’d prefer someone else to take care of providing hearty, nutritious meals for your group, they can cater as well.
9 Karapiro Road is also available for half-day to multi-day hire for team-building, corporate events, off-road/4WD events, conferences and family functions. The options are almost endless – so ask them how they can help to make your next event a huge success.

Cancellation and Refund Policy
We understand that plans can change and we will do our best to work with you if you need to
change the dates of your booking. As a small, family-run business, we rely on group bookings so late cancellations can have a significant impact on our business. For this reason, our cancellation policy for groups – with the exception of special event dates – is:
Cancellation up to 90 days prior to check-in date 50% refund of deposit.
Cancellation between 89 and 30 days prior to check-in date 25% refund of deposit.
Cancellation less than 30 days prior to check-in date No refund of deposit.

We recommend that guests consider obtaining an appropriate travel insurance policy, which is
often inexpensive and can offset any losses suffered due to unforeseen circumstances.
