Waipoua Lodge

Appointed to the highest Five Star standards, this historic and gracious lodge houses the guest lounge, bar, and dining room, and is set within a native landscape, where broad lawns sweep down to a forest walk and birdlife fills the trees.  Remote and tranquil yet under 3 hours by road from Auckland.

You will stay in one of four luxuriously and uniquely appointed suites that are in historic farm buildings adjacent to the lodge overlooking the forest and gardens.  Each suite features a separate lounge, private balcony, kitchenette and a selection of CD’s, DVD’s, magazines, snacks, fruit, toiletries, teas and coffee. www.waipoualodge.co.nz

Dinner at the Lodge

You will be treated to a 3 course candle-lit dinner enjoyed next to the fire in the Lodge dining room with a bottle of fine Northland wine.  The superb food and wine at Waipoua Lodge incorporates the traditions of New Zealand cooking, with organic vegetables, traditional maori herbs and the finest New Zealand meats and seafoods.  Our salads and vegetables are picked fresh from our kitchen garden, or supplied by our local growers, served fresh and crisp to your plate.

About the Area

Waipoua Lodge is nestled on a ridge overlooking the vast Waipoua Forest, home of the legendary Tane Mahuta - oldest kauri in the world.  Nearby are the crystal clear, freshwater Kai Iwi Lakes edged with pure white sand and the magnificent Ripiro Beach the longest driveable golden sand beach in New Zealand, steeped in history of shipwrecks and gumdiggers.
