Accommodation Waipoua Forest Northland
Experience authentic New Zealand hospitality in a breathtaking ancient and natural environment.
Nestled on a ridge overlooking the vast Waipoua Forest, where iconic kauri trees have been living for over 3,000 years, Waipoua Lodge offers luxury accommodation in an original kauri 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.
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.
With only four luxury guest suites (The Stables, Calf Pen, Woolshed & Tack Room) 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.
Luxury Accommodation
Waipoua Lodge is perfect for a 1, 2 or 3-night stay to relax and enjoy all of the Kauri Coast, but if time is limited, one night is perfect to enjoy meeting the ancient trees.
PACKAGES – We have a range of special packages including 2 & 3-night stays & romantic honeymoon packages – please click here more information
Breakfast – Included in the price of your accommodation – your day starts with a scrumptious al a carte breakfast consisting fresh fruit with juices, cereals with natural yoghurt sweetened with local honey, followed by warm croissants and a selection of toasted breads.

Take the Kauri Coast Pathway to the Bay of Islands
Northland offers so much of the natural environment which is our beautiful Aotearoa and Northland starts within an easy 2 hour drive of Auckland Airport.
There are two diverse coastlines, three important Maori cultural hot spots and a perfect circular touring route – the Twin Coast Discovery Highway.
For the best scenic vistas and experiences, we highly recommend that you journey clockwise, starting by driving up the Kauri (west) Coast with a visit to the award winning Kauri Museum before you encounter the ancient and mighty kauri trees of Waipoua Forest. You can then continue your pathway to the Bay of Islands and Cape Reinga.
