About

Note: Currently Closed Until September 2024

The Lake Mahinapua Hotel has been welcoming travelers since 1905 and has a heritage deeply rooted in the gold rush era where it originally served as a vital resting place for gold miners and travelers. It was owned by a Scotsman from Edinburgh who came to the West Coast as a miner and dredge worker in the late 1800s. The property holds fascinating stories of bygone days and continues to welcome guests from all over the world offering an array of lodging options, recreational activities and an onsite Bar & Eating House serving beverages, breakfast, lunch and dinner daily from 7:30am.
