Stratford Heritage Lodge - Eastern Taranaki Experience

Stratford Heritage Lodge provides affordable, comfortable 'flashpacker' styled accommodation with mountain views

Dave and Carol opened Stratford Heritage Lodge in September 2008, in association with Eastern Taranaki Experience.

With extensive knowledge of mountain tracks & Forgotten World Highway Adventures, Stratford Heritage Lodge combines award winning service with 'flash packer' styled accommodation and tours.
