Nestled at 905m above sea level on the south-eastern slopes of Mt Taranaki, within the beautiful Egmont National Park, is Dawson Falls Mountain Lodge. The lodge provides a rare opportunity to its guests to stay in a traditional mountain lodge within the bounds of a National Park.
Enjoy the comfort and serenity of the Suisse style Suites after a day exploring the short tracks around the mountain or snuggle up next to the fireplace with your favourite beverage in the guest lounge on those cold wet days. Take a deserved break from reality and allow yourself to fall asleep in silence under a star filled sky and wake up to the crisp clean mountain air.
The driveway is an unforgettable 6km drive up the narrow road through a tunnel of native forest – an attraction in itself and well worth it.

Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a quality family vacation or simply exploring the magnificent outdoors with some friends, Dawson Falls have the perfect room for you.
