Located in Karapiro in the Waikato region and Mystery Creek Events Centre reachable within 28 km, Kauri Lodge Karapiro provides accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private parking. Shona really made us feel like home. We loved how she spent time to do up so much detailing in her home… the way she arranged the throws and we had the most comfortable stay. There were so many beds that my kids were eager to try a different one each night of our stay.

Featuring garden views, Wairua Lodge - Rainforest River Retreat in Whitianga features accommodation, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace, water sports facilities and barbecue facilities. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. We had a fabulous stay in one of the most beautiful and thought-out accommodations in New Zealand! The rooms are gorgeously furbished and decorated, spacious, bright and wonderfully comfortable. The bed is just right - comfy mattress, fresh, soft linen and a lot of pillows to choose from. The small kitchenette is perfect for making a cup of coffee/tea and keeping the breakfast goodies refrigerated. We also made use of the full-size kitchen (for guests' use), barbecue and fire ring to cook our meals - all necessary cooking equipment and utensils, cutlery and crockery being provided. The walk-in shower is magnificent, with its large rain head and huge space! Besides the gorgeous double room itself, the property has countless relaxation spots to choose from - starting from your own, private terrace, to numerous lounge chairs, picnic tables, small dining areas and hammocks scattered all over the 15 acres of native rainforest! They also have the most unique treetop bath house and a perfectly placed spa pool to watch the night sky from! Talk about relaxation facilities! And, worry not, if you'd rather be active, there are several marked trails for you to venture on - passing through the river, climbing up steep slopes or through a waterfall. You could also have a swim in one of the 2 refreshing swimming holes, or even jump in one of them. And, at nighttime, you can walk with a torch through the rainforest to see glowworms (yes, they have those as well on the property!). After an adventurous day, you can eat some complimentary s'mores by the fire pit (ring). The place is perfectly located, as well - close to Coromandel's Hot Water Beach, Cathedral Cove, etc. Last, but not least, Debbie and Ernst are the most wonderful hosts! They made us feel catered for and kept everything in tip top shape! Hats off to them!

Featuring mountain views, Highland Lodge in Waikino features accommodation, a garden and a terrace.

There is a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries in each unit, along with bathrobes.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy a continental breakfast. Max is a great host, but it sounds like his boss drives him pretty hard,(he probably needs the structure). Lovely home with comfortable rooms overlooking a beautiful setting. It's a little slice of heaven.

Boasting a terrace and room service, Hare's Rest is attractively set in Taupo, 31 km from Orakei Korako Cave and Thermal Park and 31 km from Orakei Korako - The Hidden Valley. This lodge has a garden, barbecue facilities, free WiFi and free private parking. Alli and Glynn have done an amazing job in making this place into such a beautiful accommodation. There is so much detail into making the hares nest as comfortable as possible. As soon as our little one walked through the door he was so excited that a bear was reading a book in ‘his bed’. We ordered the platter, I can highly suggest doing so, everything was super yummy. Alli went all out making cookies, bread, jam, chutney and more we would definitely rate hares nest a 10/10. Thanks again for having us.
