Whakaipo Lodge

What an incredible service offered by Garth and Angie. I cannot begin to describe how excellent their attention to detail and attentiveness is. Staying here is truly a lesson in excellent hospitality! They offer excellent food, beautiful grounds, comfy rooms and great guidance to their guests. I cannot recommend this place enough!

A lovely warm welcome by our hosts. Great conversation and a wonderful dinner cooked and served to perfection. Garth and Angie made my birthday celebration visit really special and both Jacqui and I highly recommend Whakaipo Lodge for their excellence in all aspects.

My wife and I stayed three nights at the Whakaipo Lodge as part of a 12 day NZ vacation. We have traveled to many countries and stayed and some wonderful venues. My wife and I agree that Whakapio Lodge ranks as our favorite. Angie and Garth are amazing hosts. The room we had was spacious, private, modern, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is not an afterthought but a great home cooked meal. Wine (Garth knows wines) and canapés (by Angie) was a great way to end the day. We opted for a three course dinner one night and it was a great treat. Thank you Garth and Angie for making our stay so memorable!

Incredible! The hosts, Angie and Bernie were stellar on every level! The accommodations were beautiful and very clean. The breakfasts were bountiful and wholesome. There was such a tension to detail, kindness, and thoughtfulness! We enjoyed every moment of our stay!
