  1. Hi,

    Can you please amend the phone number you have for Hikuraki Lodge, as it is actually our home phone number – 03 249 8014. We keep getting calls from people trying to reach the lodge.

    With thanks,
    Sylven

  2. Hi Ian,

    Thank you, I appreciate that (feel free to remove my comment also – I thought I was emailing not commenting!). The DOC site also lists our number so I think we are getting a lot of calls from lots of different sources. I don’t know what their real number is unfortunately.

    Best wishes,
    Sylven
