Whakaipo Lodge was a superb place to stay in every way.
The owners, Garth & Angie went beyond the call to make our stay memorable & easy to highly recommend from the welcome, to the pre dinner drinks & canapes, the sharing of local knowledge & the beautifully presented, comfortable rooms.
The breakfast was 10/10 using locally sourced high quality products. The coffee also got a gold star.
Nothing not to like.
The whole stay was perfect

Lovely conversation with our hosts; very nice to have canapés before dinner; excellent breakfast. A bit of a drive from town, but nice to be somewhere quiet and peaceful
Nothing. Next time will come in summer so we can enjoy the surroundings a little more.
