Nestled on a ridge overlooking the vast Waipoua Forest, where iconic kauri trees have been living for 3,000 years, Waipoua Lodge offers luxury accommodation in an original homestead surrounded by native forest and pasture stretching as far as the eye can see.
As well as award winning hospitality, the purpose of a stay at the lodge is to experience the Waipoua Forest. A forest where only native bird song breaks a deafening silence whilst you stand in awe, surrounded by trees that have been living here since bronze age man.
With only four luxury guest suites we offer somewhere very special to relax and unwind whilst indulging yourself in some delicious cuisine, personal and warm hospitality, plus of course spectacular scenery of the unspoilt natural ancient Kauri Coast environment. Your experience will be enhanced with authentic stories, memorabilia and history of the mighty kauri and the early pioneers who fought the odds to live in this challenging environment 100 years ago. At Waipoua Lodge you can have the same authentic experience, but today delivered in the comfort of a New Zealand luxury 5 star accommodation.

Our four luxury and spacious guest suites (The Stables, Calf Pen, Woolshed & Tack Room) are all located in the old farm outbuildings.

We offer privacy, service and attention to detail in relaxed gracious surroundings. Candle lit dinners are presented by our talented Chef, and served at a time of your choice, often from organic produce grown in our kitchen garden, along with premium naturally grown meats and complemented by notable New Zealand wines.
