Waipoua Lodge

Luxury accommodation in Northland

Five star Waipoua Lodge is a little piece of luxury etched in history.

Nestled on a ridge overlooking the vast Waipoua Forest – home of the ancient and mighty kauri trees – Waipoua Lodge offers a relaxing retreat from which to explore the beautiful and often undiscovered Twin Kauri Coast of Northland, New Zealand.

With the mixture of yesteryear in the old kauri lodge which houses many museum pieces depicting the history of kauri logging, to the four acres of garden in which to roam and the tranquil bush walk which opens up onto an expanse of pasture and forest … you will be inspired.

Beautiful hot summers and winters spent in the ambience of a warm and cosy fire, Waipoua Lodge is simply an idyllic place at which you could choose to just relax and do nothing at any time of year.

However, the great trees are only a short drive away as are the beautiful crystal clear Kai Iwi lakes, walks in the kiwi inhabited Trounson Forest and not to mention the wild and rugged Bluff Beach and a little further away the Hokianga Harbour – there is just so much to do on the Kauri Coast!

The vast Waipoua Forest is home to the oldest and tallest known kauri trees in the world.  Being in the peaceful presence of these mighty and ancient ‘gods’, who have survived here for thousands of years, is a truly magical and humbling experience.

With a reputation for great hospitality and cuisine, being only 3 hours from Auckland and 2.5 hours from the Bay of Islands, Waipoua Lodge is the perfect luxury west coast destination.
