  1. Take the road to Piha from the Scenic Drive, and turn left into Lone Kauri Road.
  2. Go down approximately 4.3 km until you reach a Private Road on the right with many letterboxes (Equinox lodge is numbered 130).
  3. Caution Lone Kauri Road is very narrow, twisty and turny so keep over to the left of the road.
  4. Go down the road at the first junction, go straight ahead (not veer left) and down the hill.
  5. Continue down the Private Rd  a total of 1 km until you reach a sharp right angle bend.
  6. Do not veer off the road prior to the right angle bend but keep going down the hill.
  7. At the right angle bend you will see a sign saying Equinox Lodge.
  8. Go straight ahead and turn right at the gate.
  9. Do not go by house numbers as these are not in sequence, we are located at the end of the right of way.
