"Absolutely stunning property! The concierge helped us plan activities that were incredible! HIGHLY recommend the Koala experience, the Ultimate Penfold's Experience, and the RM Williams Experience (was unexpectedly AWESOME!!). Food was outstanding and the staff was super friendly. Wine selection was exceptional as well."
"I didn’t expect the holiday park cabin as I just booked it before the day. However, it was extremely pleasant and tidy. In the cabin, most of the basic kitchen cutlery and dinnerwares were displayed well. All the facility was very clean and quite :) "
"At first glance, it looks like just an ordinary motel, yet the owner has managed to bring it into top 1% motel in the world. The reason is simple—genuine care and attention to detail. The bed linens are clean and of high quality, the rooms are spotless and bright, there is a beautiful backyard, and even a large indoor jacuzzi. Everything is thoughtfully prepared from the guest’s perspective.
Staying here also gave me a life lesson: even the most ordinary and humble things can achieve success...
"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."
"It was one of the best stays in NZ we had. The owners are lovely, even gave us homemade cookies at check-in.
The private hot tub/pool is just amazing after a day out in cold winter days. Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, comfy beds with heating blankets, everything is spotless clean. Just across the street is Lake Taupo with a great jogging track into the town center."
