This is probably one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at in the country. My partner and I are keen trampers and we immediately felt like stepping into the most luxurious hut with the wood giving a lovely homely feel. The front deck all across the lodge has an incredible view of the surrounding mountains. Candy and Rawiri are the most welcoming hosts and we loved our conversations with them during our stay. We were treated by some delicious veggies and herbs from their home patch upon our arrival. Candy showed us around the property, told us where to go to check out on some local glow worms and gave us all the practical details for us to make the most of our stay. They were also keen on sharing some of the walks and things to do in the area, and they were great advice. Our highlight was for sure Candy’s welcoming karakia and her stories about the local history of the mountains and its heritage; we really felt like we were part of the place for a while. Candy’s and Rawiri own story is fascinating as well and we felt privileged to be part of it. We hope we can come back to this special place one day. Thank you both.

Nothing, everything was great.

"Welcoming, spacious lodge, warm and cosy surrounded by nature,birds, kiwi at night. Glow worm cave nearby."

Candy was the perfect host as she went above and beyond her duty of manaakitanga( hospitality)… welcoming us on arrival Candy offered us vegetables from her garden before taking us to her beautiful, spacious lodge. She showed us through the accomodation and had pamphlets on offer to some of the walks in the area. We loved the coziness and energy of Waiotemarama lodge… so relaxing enjoying the views of the hills and bushland…the gas heater in the lounge was so wonderful heating the space and beyond beautifully. A highlight was a short walk to see the glowworms. There was nothing Candy hadn’t thought of for our stay… even had fresh bread, milk and other food items for her guests. Truely outstanding in every way…

"Fabulous Lodge Great location well set up, would have liked to stay longer"

10.0

Fantastic private location surrounded by native bush. Host was a very special person and gave us a guided tour on arrival plus took us to Glow Worm grotto. Everything was well explained and documented. Breakfast was provided and plentiful. The design of the Lodge was very comfortable and the views spectacular. Just a short drive to get into Opononi. Will definitely stay again when in the area.
