Shakespear Lodge 

Shakespear Lodge is located at the end of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, right in the middle of Shakespear Regional Park. 

Auckland City Council

Shakespear Lodge 

The original homestead of the ‘Shakespear’ family farm has been looked after by the YMCA for the last 25 years as an outdoor education camp. Overlooking ‘Te Haruhi Bay’ and the outer ‘Hauraki Gulf’, guests at the lodge have spectacular views and access to one of Auckland’s best regional parks. 

 

Our staff will design a programme that meets your objectives and your budget. Common programme goals include teaching and building confidence, facilitation of team building and improving group communication skills.

 

WE'RE RE-OPENING! Shakespear Lodge is finally re-opening following closure over the past half year due to a pest eradication programme. Join us in celebrating this and a belated 100th birthday of the main lodge building at our open day on Sunday 4th December. For more details, click here
