If you like quiet, remote, and beautiful (and you have a little adventure in you) this place tops the chart. The owners Tam and Charles are wonderful hosts! They go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. The outside bath house is absolutely wonderful. A glass of wine, Pink Floyd in the background, and nothing separating you form... More

From the moment we arrived at Wairua lodge and had to drive through a shallow river, we knew it was special. We stayed in one of the cabin rooms, which was furnished beautifully and very cosy. The weather was a bit rainy when we arrived but we still had a brilliant time swimming in the river at the lodge, we... More

We spent the final night of our NZ road trip at Wairua Lodge and it was by far the highlight of our trip. It being the beginning of the off season, we had the entire lodge to ourselves. We were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome by Charles and Tam who showed us around the property. It is quite... More

We happened upon Wairua Lodge by chance. One of my prerequisites for a 'mini-moon' was that it needed to have an outside bath. So I did a Google search and Wairua Lodge popped up. It not only had an outside TREETOP bathhouse, but also a hot tub/spa - bonus! After months of organising our wedding and having family staying, we... More

We spent our first two nights in New Zealand at Wairua Lodge and had a wonderful experience! The owners, Charles and Tam, couldn't have been friendlier or more welcoming. Upon arrival, they gave us a tour of the grounds and all the amenities. Our room (called a "snug") was comfortable and clean. The second night of our stay we decided... More

We stayed in the River Desck Suite July 2009 - I know I know, a bit late writing this review but oh well! My husband and I eloped and the following weekend we decided to stay here for a few nights. We absolutly loved the location of Wairua Lodge. The gentle sounds of the river at night was lovely, and... More

Staying at the Wairua Lodge was truly a unique and amazing experience. I admit I had my doubts when my we turned down the gravel road that led to the lodge after four hours of driving. But once we arrived, I knew I made the right choice booking this place. The owner greeted my husband and I and showed us... More

After much searching on the internet and reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, we decided to spend a night at Wairua Lodge in January. As other reviews have said, the setting in the valley is amazing - beautiful, not far from the town/beaches, and a good base to explore the Coromandel. The owners are also really helpful and have thought of... More

We stayed the last 5 days of our NZ trip here. Tam and Charles are wonderful hosts. They have a superb eye for detail. (e.g. fridge in cupboard so that you don't wake up listening to a humming sound.) The location is perfect. The kitchen facility was as cozy as one can dream of. The rooms and beds were good.... More
