Acacia Farm Lodge

Situated on a peaceful hilltop, close to the bustling centre of Karatu is the charming, Acacia Farm Lodge. As the name suggests, it is a working coffee farm with 32 rooms spread between 16 “cabins”. All rooms have their own large veranda or terrace, and all have air conditioning, a minibar, tea and coffee-making facilities, a TV, a safe and Wi-Fi. The rooms are large in size, modernly appointed with a touch of romance and have large windows which allow the light to flood in.

In the pleasant, lush garden, you’ll find the lodge’s pool, where you can relax under a parasol or enjoy the warm rays of the sun on your skin. Book an appointment for a massage and look forward to dinner in the evening. The farm has its own kitchen garden, where most of the ingredients used in the kitchen are picked. Naturally, you’re welcome to go for a walk in the kitchen garden if you’d like to!

In the evening, a bonfire is often lit in the garden, where you can share your travel experiences with the other guests over a drink before dinner.

Dinner is usually served in the restaurant, but if you’d rather eat in the garden or on your own balcony, it’s no problem at all – just let your personal butler know.

Acacia Lodge is our “classic” 5-star upgrade option in Karatu.
