Dear Hart Family,
Thank you so much for this life changing week. I have learnt so much not only about sustainability but also about life and what really matters. Even though it’s only been a week, you all feel like family and this place feels like home. You are all such positive, loving, warm hearted people who I am so grateful to call my friends. I really do hope to come back someday. Thanks again.

“Our stay at Mangarara Eco Lodge & Education Centre was exceptional. The serenity, peacefulness and warmth of the place and our hosts Greg and Rachel Hart was very much appreciated. Apart from the abundant bird life, quality accommodation and access to kayaking (around the lake), Greg, Rachel and the team have done a wonderful job of creating a sustainable model of farming for the future. The eco lodge is perfectly set up and caters for families, couples and groups that wish to get away from it all and experience the best rural New Zealand has to offer. It just feels like  home away from home…”
