Sixtus Lodge Trust Board
"...a passion to provide a unique experience to schools and community groups..."
Sixtus Lodge is managed by The Sixtus Lodge Trust Board (STLB), a registered charitable entity in terms of the Charities Act 2005 (CC23087). The members of SLTB are all volunteers, who contribute their time and expertise to maintain the Lodge and its environs to a high standard, and provide a unique, safe and enjoyable outdoor experience for all tenants.
SLTB runs Sixtus Lodge via regular business meetings (five meetings a year, usually in Palmerston North) and a number of scheduled working bees (usually four weekends per year) at the Lodge itself, to carry out cleaning, maintenance and property development. Our Property Manager (Ray) coordinates the working bees and contributes many additional hours each week at Sixtus Lodge, keeping the property in tip-top condition! Our Booking Secretary (Hamish) is the first point of contact for a stay at Sixtus Lodge – he liaises with tenants about their bookings and helps sorts out any issues. Contact Us

Members of the community with a love of the outdoors, and an interest in education and local tourism, are most welcome to join the SLTB. Prospective members usually attend several working bees, and sit in on general meetings, prior to being nominated to the Sixtus Lodge Trust Board.
