We rented this place as we had a wedding on the same street - and it turned out to be perfect. It was a huge, house - with spectacular view towards Omaha. It had multiple living area's which made it perfect for a large group. We would love to go back there again - for another family event - it was perfect. Thanks so much Dan for your kindness and great communication throughout. We loved it.

Whangateau Lodge in Leigh surpassed our expectations with its charm and beautiful views. Despite visiting in winter, the lodge provided ample space to spread out and relax. The dining spaces and wonderful kitchen are perfect for a large group, while the fireplace and lounge were a fantastic place to come together at the end of a day. We cannot forget to mention the gorgeous views! We highly recommend this lodge for anyone looking for a getaway in Leigh.

We spent three nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Whangateau Lodge is absolutely beautiful, has the most amazing views and is an ideal place to stay for families with children or if you just wanted to chill which we did.
Would highly recommend and definitely stay again.
Thankyou Daniel

Such a great stay. 10 of us stayed here and enjoyed every second of it. Great for large families and toddlers. Very comfortable and well equipped. Could not have asked for anything more. The big fireplace kept us all warm while a storm was passing over us. Daniel was a great host and was very helpful. Look forward to booking again in the near future.

We adults and kids had lots of fun during the stay. The house is located a little far from shops, and need to drive a bit on gravel road, but I guess you only get such superb view if the house is in the middle of nowhere 😜 I would say everything has been great except the shower water temperature is not so great, either super hot or super cold, nothing in between. Anyway the house is fully equipped with everything you need during the stay, so its’s a pretty great experience 👍

Whangateau Lodge Getaway
If you'd like space and quiet to unwind with family or friends then I can highly recommend the lodge. Daniel ( our host ) was most accomodating and made the process super easy. I would go back in a heartbeat. Particularly loved the birdlife.

A Beautiful Stay
This property is incredible! The house itself is beautiful and clean and the views are stunning. The drive was a little bit of a work out for our car but aside from that everything was perfect. The communication from the owner was fantastic and always very helpful. We loved stay there and would stay again 😌

Perfect long weekend getaway
We really enjoyed our time at the lodge, having plenty of space for a large group and making yummy pizza in the outdoor pizza oven. Everything was clean, tidy and well stocked. Beautiful location and views!

Large family holiday
As many before have said the pictures do not do this property justice. Well maintained nd presented with everything you could need provided. Used the pizza oven every day for roasts, curries as well as the garlic pizza starters and pizza deserts. Mike was a joy to deal with - always prompt and helpful.

Amazing House
Perfect place to stay (also with children). The house is so spacious, clean, and cozy, not too far away from beaches, shops, bars, restaurants, supermarkets etc. Super! We loved our “pizza making” evenings. The house has its very own pizza oven, where we enjoyed a few nights. The views are amazing! Daniel is a very friendly and helpful owner. (Thank you for everything). Such a great stay with family and friends. Thank you and will definitely be staying again!

A brilliant place to stay - a group of 6 couples, all with a double room each.
We had a fantastic weekend in all, Whangateau Lodge was the perfect base for us with plenty of space to "get-away" from the group if wanted.
Daniel had great suggestions of things to do in the area and was really helpful throughout the process.
We used the spa pool everyday and the pizza oven was great for the men's cooking challenge - a pizza dinner including making the dough for bases.
We did see one peacock which was cool, but there was "evidence" of their presence, which did catch a couple of bare feet off-guard.
Fantastic - highly recommended.

Exceptional Property
Exceptional communication, the house is very impressive and was way bigger than we thought. the views are beautiful (forever changing). The layout is great, lots of areas to entertain. The games room was a lot of fun. We made great pizzas in the pizza oven. Daniel had thoughtfully prepared the house prior to our arrival. We recommend this property for any occasion.

Great house for large groups
Big group of friends enjoyed our stay here over New Years. Far enough away from everything to be peaceful but close enough for those who need to grab a coffee or check out a market. Daniel was awesome to deal with from start to end and the house has everything one could need. Awesome games room too!

We had a very pleasant stay. The property was very beautiful. Everything was provided and prepared, from linen, towels to toys to cooking oil and soy source. We all loved the layout and size of the house.The location is good, very safe, very quiet. The only thing we didn't prepare was the drive on the unsealed road, our cars were not suited on such roads. Daniel was totally understanding when I mentioned that one of us had taken a towel away by mistake and had left some of our belongs at the property. He was very nice to work with.

A great home away from home
Our stay at this home was absolutely amazing. It is a lot larger than it seems in the photos, which was a nice surprise! This enabled everyone to be in their own spaces at times, but also gather for meals and talks. Everything was clean and tidy, and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Daniel was easy and nice to communicate with. We appreciated the efforts he made to ensure we had everything we could possibly need for our stay. We would definitely come to stay again.

Stunning view in any weather!
We stayed as a large family group and it was perfect for us - right from the 80 year old down to the 10 month old. Very comfortable, warm and lots of things to do - and the kitchen was very well stocked with lots of equipment (not all holiday places have this). We even used the pizza oven! Wonderful views too and a unique location. Thanks for sharing your lovely place with us :)

Wow, wow, wow! Perfect place for extended family gatherings :-)
An amazing property that can easily accommodate several families without tripping over each other. Stunning views and a wonderful property - spotless, beautiful linen, spa, open fire, pizza oven the list goes on. The owner is wonderful to deal with too. Only wish we could have had more time there to explore all the lovely places near by. Would highly recommend and definitely use again. Thank you!

Perfect spot for a family or group trip
Loved the fireplace during a cold winters night! There was plenty of wood for the duration of our stay. The pizza oven was great and such a feature as was the spa. There is a trampoline which would be great for kids as well as a large backyard to run around in. The home is large enough that we could sleep both babies on opposite ends of the house and keep ourselves entertained in the main living areas without worrying about waking anyone up. The game room downstairs was fantastic and kept us entertained with table tennis, darts etc, The views are incredible. Rooms large/spacious. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We didn't need to head out to get any supplies at all! Thanks for having us!

Whangateau Lodge is stunning - the view is exceptional and the whole property is beautiful and peaceful. It's very well equipped, everything was very clean and there are endless amenities to keep you entertained.
