An outdoor education centre at 45 Lodge Road, St Arnaud, just outside the village, inside Nelson Lakes National Park. The centre has run for over 50 years, and runs camps for schools across the top of the South Island and beyond. Camps focus on personal growth, leadership, teamwork and environmental awareness. The lodge sits beside Lake Rotoiti, with beech forest walks and ranges that climb toward the Southern Alps. It also offers accommodation for events, functions and group stays. Enquiries go by the contact form, by email to info@rotoitilodge.co.nz, or by phone on 03 521 1820.
The lodge was upgraded in 2020 with a commercial kitchen, a timber deck with sliding doors overlooking the lake, and sporting equipment including stand up paddle boards. The centre is run by a board of trustees, with Rotary representation.
