N/a

This is the perfect place to unwind and escape the city. We absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere and all the amenities, making our stay truly exceptional. The bathtub was simply perfect. Peta and Rich are wonderful hosts.

Excellent breakfast provided.

The main room was very spacious, with a huge comfy bed, sofa and dining area. The separate kitchenette had everything we needed, including an air fryer, which was great for heating the croissants provided with the plentiful breakfast provisions. Loved the walk-in rainfall shower and the huge bath - both very welcome after a day out walking. The location was perfect, just a short drive from Waipu and with absolutely stunning views. We would love to spend more time there.

All good.

Tolle ruhige Unterkunft mit grosser Badewanne mit Sicht in den Garten.

This accommodation is impeccable in every way. I was there alone, for a full week. I was able to select my breakfast preferences. All was provided. This is a haven of tranquility with stunning views and optimum privacy. Fabulous shower, many lovely touches in the bathroom and it would make a wonderful honeymoon suite. Waipu is close by, with wonderful beaches within a very short drive. I would return again in a heartbeat. Utterly wonderful.

Nothing. Not applicable. Everything is perfect.

Comfortable, everything you could need is provided. The view is beautiful 😍

Well appointed and very clean. Lots of breakfast provisions.

A very luxurious room with a very kind host. Although we had some terrible days weatherwise, we enjoyed our stay very much. If you visit Waipu and surrounding...stay here!!

The view is breathtaking. Being so close to nature creates a wonderful sense of well-being. The room is decorated with great attention to detail, exceptionally clean, and the bathroom is very comfortable.

Absolutely nothing!

Peaceful stay with stunning views tucked away in the countryside. The hosts have truly gone above and beyond to make every detail of the room top notch. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat with all the amenities- this is the place!

Very peaceful. Bed exceptionally comfortable!

I personally not so keen about having all the greenery/ indoor plants so close to where I sleep! 😉

Beautiful view, loved the bath with bush outlook, all the little touches and luxuries, plenty of food for breakfast, own entrance to the room, hosts were welcoming and also respected our privacy.

Nothing.

The ambience of this room was amazing waking up to the Tui and fantails was a delight. The sunrise from this room words cant describe.

Nothing

Decorated to a high standard, beautiful views, quiet location. Lots of nice little touches dotted around the property to make it feel high end and personal. Continental Breakfast was well stocked. Bed was huge and the shower was great. Good information booklet on walks and restaurants. Hosts very friendly and welcoming.

Peta and Rich have created a very special place and have thought of everything you could possible want. Lovely decor, the most comfortable bed, I am even thinking of changing mine and a very special luxurious bathroom. We loved the candles and beautiful products. The breakfast being included is a lovely added touch. We had a really relaxing time, we would love to return soon for that view .

Amazing place with a great view, I’ve never seen a place with such attention to the details. Plants, candles and breakfast, just everything was something I’ve never seen even in 5 star hotels.

A bit far away from everything, but great if you are looking for an escape.

Lovely studio that was tastefully decorated. The standard was that of a luxury hotel. Comfortable bed, great bathroom and well set up kitchen. The breakfast was well covered with a lot of choices. Nice outlook onto a lawn, bush and farmland. Ten minutes to Waipu village. Very friendly hosts. We will be back.

The room is lovely, very charming! Very peaceful! PETA was very pleasant and welcoming! Loved it!!!

Absolutely gorgeous x relaxing and awesome. Very friendly hosts. Amazing breakfasts x Just have a plan B to get out of the bath if you are a wee bit inflexible! Well worth the laughs!

We loved everything! A beautifully presented accommodation that was so peaceful and comfortable. The room was huge with a very comfortable bed. The kitchen was cute, and it had everything we needed. The bathroom had a large deep bath and a huge shower. The breakfast was exceptional as well. The host was very welcoming. It was a lovely place to stay.

We had an amazing stay and it felt like a retreat. Set in the most beautiful location with stunning views. The apartment was quite luxurious and added extras like scented bath salts and very comfortable bed added to a great stay. Appreciated the very generous breakfast and being greeted by Molly the dog whenever we pulled up at accommodation. I hope we get to stay again one day. Thank you Peta and Rich for sharing your little piece of paradise.

Breakfast was excellent. Location was excellent. The accomodation was very comfortable with great views.

Nothing.

Excellent accommodation. I have stayed in many places in my work travels, and this is in the top 1%. Clean, modern, comfortable, discreet, lovely views and the breakfast was fantastic. Bed was super comfortable. Modern kitchen was fully stocked with tea, coffee pods and lots of awesome treats for breakfast (including croissants)! Walk in shower with rain head option was an added bonus for me. Would love to bring my wife back for a mini stay. She would love the stand-alone bath for a relaxing soak at the end of the day!

Great comfortable stay. Luxury accomodation with well equipped facilities and breakfast, fantastic views, very quiet and convenient for exploring Waipu museum, shops, the caves and the beach at Waipu Cove. Peta greeted us on arrival and instructions clear. Would highly recommend for the views alone!

Wairimu lodge is the most beautiful BnB set in the countryside just 10 mins from Waipu.The lovely hosts, Peta and Rich have created a very special sanctuary and have thought of everything you could possible want. Lovely decor, the most comfortable bed, a luxurious bathroom, beautiful products and a very generous breakfast. It was very relaxing to sit on the deck with a Nespresso coffee (the only place we've stayed with a milk frother as well)!! and enjoy the gorgeous view. We would love to return soon.

Everything was perfect

Great location and amazing place for a getaway. Breakfast options were great, very accommodating. Room has such a nice aroma!!

It was a beautiful lodge, really nice view, facilities and amenities. The breakfast being included is a lovely added touch. We had a really relaxing time, couldn't recommend Rich and Peta as hosts enough

Everything.

The rain but it was the best place to chill out.

Quiet rural location relatively close to small town with good shops and excellent eateries and to a sandy beach. Room was nicely furnished and finished with excellent bed and good blackout curtains. Large freestanding bath. Plenty of scented candles provided and a good continental breakfast.

No problems encountered

Everything exceeded our expectations - Breakfast was lovely and unexpected :)

Wonderful accommodation. Liked everything

Beautiful setting/views and fantastic property with everything that you would want with great hosts.

Nothing

Well finished with everything you could want on a getaway. Lovely setting with a beautiful view!

Everything was awesome. Nothing to dislike

Perfect

If I say perfect don't ask more questions

Perfect spot for some rest & relaxation and to unwind. Lovely quiet and beautifully maintained accommodation set in a tranquil location. The photos are a great reflection of the quality and show exactly what is on offer. The luxurious bath certainly helped the relaxation process.

Beautiful view, exceptionally clean and comfortable. It had everything! I would absolutely come back.

What a beautiful sanctuary for R&R. Peta & Rich were very friendly and accommodating. We got there later than expected and they made our check in simple and the lodge warm and cosy. We loved our big breakfast and the fridge was stocked up with a plethora of yummy drinks and treats. The room was immaculate and the bathroom /big bath tub was glorious especially with thoughtful touches of bathbombs and other amenities. Couldn't have asked for a better host 👌

Nothing at all! 😊

Location was superb with native bush, views of cows in the fields and the ocean! It was so quiet and peaceful but just about 8 minutes to Waipu township.

Every detail had been considered and the only minor negative was that the newish looking air fryer had probably been broken by the previous occupants. To remedy this the owner heated our breakfast croissants in her air fryer which was appreciated.

What didn’t we like! The property was beautifully decorated, the view in itself was unbelievable, but the interior is so well designed with so many great touches. The hosts were thoughtful and welcoming, they had stocked the room with everything we needed and of the best quality. We were lucky enough to meet their dog too. The pictures do not do this place justice.

Nothing negative to say whatsoever.

Peta and Ricard's accomodation is set in a rural area and have fabulous ocean views. A lovely spot to seat outside in the morning and evening. So lovely to hear the birds in the morning. Just 5 mins drive from Waipu town. The accomodation is modern and with beautiful amenities. We were very spoilt with the breakfast and top it off, croissants with ham and cheese provided. The Air Fryer is sure a very simple way to prepare the croissants. Peta and Richard (and Molly) are very welcoming and we highly recommend staying in this beautiful place. Thanks Peta and Richard for your hospitality.

Breakfast was nice and place has nice view surrounded by serenity.

Peta and Richard went above and beyond. If there was a higher rating, this property would definitely qualify. Wairimu Lodge was used to host the bridal party for my daughter-in-law. The service they provided was outstanding. They allowed us to take wedding photos, park the wedding cars in their driveway, hairdresser, makeup artist, photographer and nothing was a problem. They both went that extra mile to make the day special. We highly recommend Wairimu Lodge as your number one accommodation venue in Waipu. Whether it be for a luxury get-a-away weekend or attending a special event. You must, must must, consider this property.

Absolutely nothing

I would rate this 7 stars if I could! Peta and Rich have created an exceptional BnB with stunning views to boot! The huge king bed with luxuriously soft sheets were a dream to sleep in. The bathroom with the sumptuously large bath and the walk in shower with both hand held and rain shower was out of this world. Then there was the view to trees from the bath and perfectly private. The little kitchen had everything including a thoughtful air fryer ro toast the complimentary ham and cheese croissants in the morning. This was part of the complimentary breakfast supplies which included everything. The AC topped it off for us and the TV with access to local channels. I cannot rate this place highly enough. And it was spotless!

Loved EVERYTHING

The property is beautifully presented with all modern amenities. It’s obvious that great care has been taken to provide a unit of a high standard. The view from the deck is stunning with the ocean and its island clearly visible in the distance. The breakfast is more than adequate and conveniently provided in the suite. The grounds are well laid out and are being developed further - a particular specialty of the owners. The location suited us perfectly being just out of Waipu but on the edge of the bush with great views. Had a lovely stay, many thanks PETA and Rich.

Nothing to add

Great view, peaceful, high level interior and amenities, comfortable beds, very nice and helpful hosts.

No complaints

In a word: excellent ! What a wonderful place to stay and the room is more than great ! Of all.conveniences. provided. Great bed and a super bathroom. And what a view! It has more than exceeded our expectations.

Breakfast was excellent with a variety of choices. We particularly enjoyed the homemade granola and muesli and the fresh fruit.

What a lovely place to stay - one wouldn't expect that level of service in a rural place like Waipu, but it's actually comparable to a high-end hotel. Everything is super clean and well-thought-of, the facilities are brand new, and the bathroom (including a bathtub in it) is incredible. And breakfast too! A separate compliment goes to a person who looks after the houseplants, they look great. It's also conveniently located within just a short drive from Waipu township with all the shops and restaurants and the beach of Waipu Cove. At the same time the room is by the native bush with Tuis singing there in the morning. It was a couple of rainy nights, which added to the experience - imagine floating weightlessly in scented comfortably warm water with candle reflections flickering in a panoramic window while the sound of rain whispering in a native bush lulls you into a transcended slumber. Amazing!

The single thing we didn't like is that we only had a couple of nights there, you need at least a week!

Fantastic homemade cereals and croissants, juice, and hot drinks , all with a great little kitchenette. Beautiful quiet rural location - not far from the beach. Very clean and lovely presentation.

Beautiful location with fabulous views. So quiet and peaceful - very restorative. Fantastic breakfast - fresh fruit and a selection of high quality cereal followed by croissant. Everything you need to self cater if you want to. Comfortable bed, gorgeous bathroom with simple asking tub.

Liked everything

Clean, super comfortable, quality finishes, beautiful view, beautiful bath looking out to the bush, quiet, relaxing. Some of the best accommodation I've ever stayed in! Highly recommend!

Everything was great!

Luxurious serenity! Waking up to that bird life 🥰 Delicious breakfast, great coffee. Revitalising tub ☺️ Close to gorgeous beaches, restaurants and bars! Just perfect! Great hosts 😊

Beautiful everything

Exellent

I loved the whole place. Felt very safe.

The place was so clean, well stocked and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly. There was nothing we could've wanted that wasn't there. Location was also great with a beautifully view!

There was nothing we didnt like! Absolutely perfect place

Absolutely beautiful place. Immaculate. Very private. Lovely location just 10 mins easy drive to Waipu. Will stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous lodge. Beautiful scenery and views. The bed was super comfortable. The continental breakfast was perfect. Great amenities, friendly hosts, and very private. We will definitely return for another getaway.

Very welcoming and cozy. Nice and clean with everything you needed. Beautiful view!

Good choice of breakfast, we liked the setup very much, as it was just what we needed

There was nothing really that we did not like, everything at this property was good

Beautiful room! Loved the bath!

No complaints

Had everything we needed and it also has fantastic views

The location was perfect, beautiful rural and sea views right next to native bush, it is situated off the main roads so was quiet and peaceful, only sounds coming from birds and insects. The food provided for breakfast was ample, the selection of cereals was delicious, we had the bread and milk of our choice. There was a variety of spreads, orange juice, croissants with fillings supplied. The outside sitting area is sheltered, the deck had lovely pot plants on it and outside furniture and barbeque.

We truly loved everything about Wairimu Lodge. From the beautifully decorated room and luxurious bathroom, to the view, to the thoughtful touches including ample breakfast options (even croissants!). It was so quiet and peaceful, and felt incredibly private despite being attached to Peta & Rich's house. Peta & Rich are incredibly generous hosts, and the welcome book provided gave us so many helpful hints about the property, the local area, and even included up-to-date menus of local eateries.

Honestly, nothing!

very high standard beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable bed with top quality linen. all our needs were provided for.

nothing at all

Lovely room with a perfect view and a very comfortable bed. Owners were lovely and flexible with our dates when the weather wouldn’t allow us to come.

Beautiful, stylish, clean and comfy! A very relaxing few days, breakfast provided and everything necessary for a great break away

I love everything about the place. It's exactly what it looked like in the photos and more. The view is amazing, plus Peta and Rich are so accommodating. I was craving for a bit of relaxation somewhere luxurious and it's what I got. I'm hoping to come back soon.

Nothing. The place was perfect.

The lodge was very comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated, the indoor plants quite special. We had plenty of supplies for breakfast, the shower was spacious and excellent, and the bed was large and very comfortable .As it was raining quite a bit it was a lovely space to hang out in, and still close to restaurants for dinner. The view is also great, over green hills to Whangarei heads.

Everything was perfect

The lodge is incredible. Peta and Rich have thought about every detail. We had an amazing time, the prefect getaway for a few nights with no kids. The bath is fab, bed super comfy and the views to die for.

Great beach views but long distance.

A larger outside table would be great to have.

We chose the property based on its location however we were so impressed with everything else we would most def stay again.

nothing

Breakfast was ideal. Location was great.

Very quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed waking to the sound of the tui and what a stunning view. The location was close enough to Waipu to enjoy the dining facilities available locally. The room was very clean and the plants added to the relaxing vibe.

The driveway was a bit of a roller coaster metal driveway. It certainly keeps you on your toes and improvement is recommended.
