Our goal is to enable our guests to stay in absolute luxury in the stunning remote beauty of the Kauri Coast in Northland, New Zealand. To bathe in the peace, culture and ecology of our ancient New Zealand forests, crystal clear lakes and golden sand coastline.

Waipoua Lodge's four acre property is set on a ridge overlooking the Waipoua Forest and farmland in Dargaville, Northland. There are extensive gardens to explore, a jacuzzi to soak in by candlelight under the stars, a bush walk at the bottom of the garden and birdsong to fill the silence.

The four luxuriously and uniquely appointed Suites are in historic farm buildings adjacent to the Lodge and they also overlook the forest and gardens. Waipoua Lodge has 4 separate luxury Suites. Each suite is unique in layout and décor. The suite accommodation is spacious.

We welcome children to stay at Waipoua Lodge. They can play on the trampoline, climb up to the tree hut, discover frogs in the pond at the bottom of the garden, play with our friendly dog, meet the cows and chickens, build a bush hut like a real kiwi kid or splash in the jacuzzi. We ask that you observe other guests' privacy while here with your children.
