Base for Exploring
Ww Hartree Lodge, situated on the Puketitiri-Napier road some 51 kilometres northwest of Napier, sits on the 14-hectare William
Hartree Memorial Scenic Reserve, administered by Department of Conservation. The reserve, one of a handful of forest remnants in Hawkes Bay outside the Kaweka Ranges, has a track network through
regenerating broadleafpodocarp forest giving extensive views toward Cape Kidnappers and the Esk Valley. The reserve was gifted to the Crown in 1963 by Audrey Hartree as a memorial to her late husband William, a keen naturalist. The lodge, accommodating up to 15 people, was built by the Hawkes Bay Junior Wildlife Wardens in
1967. The Society assumed ownership of the lodge and a lease of the land on which it stands in 1974. The lodge is only a short drive from other reserves further inland such as Balls Clearing, Hutchinson, our own Little Bush and, further afield, the Kaweka Range. To book William Hartree Lodge see Lodges page 49 for details.
