Mountain Heights Lodge

Mountain Heights Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The motel owner was super helpful and very nice. He owns alpacas and gave us carrots to go feed them. The room was clean and had everything that we needed. We had a guided tour and the meeting point was super close so the location was perfect for us. The mountain view from the motel was gorgeous."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Makakahi?
The best time to visit Makakahi, Manawatū, New Zealand, is during the warmer months, specifically from November to April.

This period offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the region's natural beauty and outdoor activities. You'll find long, sunny days great for hiking, cycling, and enjoying the local attractions. The average temperatures range from a comfortable 20°C to 25°C, making it ideal for those who enjoy being outdoors without extreme heat.

Couples looking for an active escape will find this time particularly appealing. The Makakahi River is excellent for kayaking or fishing, and numerous trails through the native bush, like those in the nearby Ruahine Forest Park, are at their best. Enjoy a picnic by the river or a leisurely stroll through the countryside.

Families with children will also appreciate the warmer weather. It's great for visiting local farms, exploring the interactive exhibits at the nearby Te Manawa Museum, or simply enjoying the open spaces for play.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Makakahi hotel for you.
How much is the nightly rate at a Makakahi hotel?
Hotel prices in Makakahi often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
