Waipoua Lodge has the BEST guests!

Our Tripadvisor Travellers Choice status is all down to our wonderful guest reviews but we have now come to realise that tree loving people make the BEST guests! After all if you care enough to come and visit some incredible ancient and mighty kauri trees then it follows that you will also probably value an historic homestead and all it has to offer.

Our guests regularly tell us what an amazing time they have had staying at Waipoua Lodge, but we have to say that EVERYONE who stays is truly awesome and the BEST guests.

We wanted to share a couple of specific examples of just how awesome guests are at Waipoua Lodge.

We welcomed in the 2017 New Year with a group of lovely tree loving guests, two of whom were Rob & Sue Eyre from the UK.

Well our pedigree kunekune Holly obviously worked her magic and won over artist Sue’s heart (after all who can resist that cute hairy face that only a mother would love!).

The result is a special gift from Sue for us (and Holly) with this fabulous character drawing of our Holls.

Thank you so much Sue … you are definitely an awesome guest!

The next really fun example to share is from breakfast last week when Ken and Martha Neville from Washington County, USA, delighted us with several fiddle tunes! They have both only taken up the fiddle seriously in recent years and love it so much that they travel with their fiddles! Ian happened to hear music coming from the suite which he didn’t recognise as one of our DVDs so asked. The result was an amazing foot tapping musical breakfast interlude!
