Reviews
"It's a hidden gem, traveled from auckland all the way to this property on a special occasion and was nervous if we would like it. But it was such a delight right from our entry driving into the main building and stepping into it, was awestruck with the architecture interiors and it was a complete beauty. Food was amazing and my lil one looked forward for breakfast to see Nicholas. Also husband did clay shooting which was fantastic. In a nutshell beautiful experience and memories created for lifetime."
"Farm tour was less than expected. Shown sheep shearing facilities and herb/vegetable garden only. This far from a farm tour. Clay shooting lacked diversity of stations and organization."
"5 stars do not give Wharekauhau Lodge the credit it deserves. The magnificent setting and perfect ambience is truly complemented by the outstanding chef Norka Mella Munoz and the vivacious Nicholas who heads Front of House. Our 5 course degustation lunch was absolutely superb and was a sensory delight! The waiting staff charming and personable; everyone was so warm and welcoming and we felt so comfortable. I cannot commend Norka enough on her skills as a chef- her love of food and exuberant personality are reflected in every dish and one leaves Wharekauhau eager to return. Thank you for giving us such a cherished memory!"
"The staff were warm and welcoming. They were attentive without being intrusive. The property was delightful and the views were amazing. My wife and I enjoyed the whole experience immensely."
