Waoku Lodge

The drive to Waoku Lodge is spectacular with views of Whale Bay and out to the Tasman Sea. Turn the corner and there nestled under Mount Karioi is Waoku Lodge.This brand new and purpose built lodge offers the very best of luxury tourist accommodation.

The lodge consists of 4 two bedroom self contained units name after the elements of earth, wind, fire and water. Each enjoys spectacular views either of the surrounding bush or that glorious view out across the Tasman. Nothing has been spared here to make our stay comfortable, full kitchen with all the conveniences of microwave, dishwasher, and breakfast bar. The quality crockery, glassware, sumptuous linen, toiletries and superior sound system all add to the ambience.

We choose to pour a glass of wine that our very thoughtful hosts Rob and Sharon had left chilling for us and wandered out to the loungers on the deck to take in the scenery.

If you can tear yourself away, the town of Raglan is just 8km away and it is a wonderful place to take in art and craft shops, cafés and the fishing wharves. There are numerous walks nearby, however it is a must that you drop in and watch the surf at Whale Bay. Just watching the sea gives an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility.

Waoku Lodge is the perfect place for that pampered getaway or to relax after a long journey. You will find it impossible not to - Let Sharon and Rob take care of everything, this is simply bliss
