Wharepuke Subtropical Accommodation

Such a beautiful little boutique cabin tucked away amongst the Far North bush. It had the most incredible rainforest feel — peaceful, private and completely tranquil. The surroundings were stunning, the cabin was gorgeous, and the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. A truly special place to switch off, slow down and soak up the serenity.

Good location. Good size rooms,well equipped, good eating for the weather we had.

Not a new place and a few things seeded attention,overall good

The setting was just lovely

I am a keen gardener and spending time in a collectors garden was a treat.

The gardens and location are excellent

No dislikes

Excellent location close to Kerikeri and Stone House and beautiful setting. Host friendly and helpful.

Nothing.

Beautiful gardens..kereru in the trees..Great staff Also we had dinner at Maha the restaurant there and it was absolutely awesome. Best food in northland

Needs attention to night lighting

I loved the subtropical forest , and Tania was incredibly helpful

It was dirty . There was mouse poop in the frypan under sink - the dishes were dirty and a black fill washed off them and it smelt really really damp and musty . We ran the dehumidifier full time and had to empty it 3 times .

Tania met us on our arrival and was very welcoming. She showed us to our cabin and told us about the history of the property and the layout of the accommodation. It was large and well set out. Everything we needed for one night stay. It would be easy to base yourself here for a better look around the area.

If we were staying longer, a few more kitchen utensils would be needed. We arrived in winter and the paths could prove slippery after rain.

quiet, bush setting. private

Location of the place & our little cottage is private. Completely surrounded by trees so lots of bird sounds, which I love

We loved the quiet garden setting and the cosy cottage for 6 nights. The location was great for sightseeing, walking and shopping Tanya our hostess was friendly and helpful

There was nothing we didn't like.

A deciles tropical Paradise

Lovely gardens

Prachtige plek! Super behulpzame en vriendelijke eigenaren. Heeft alles wat je nodig hebt!

Whats not to like? Incredible location surrounded by rainforest garden. Lovely restaurant on site. Sculpture garden & artist workshop gallery. Very close to a waterfall walk.

Location, peaceful,

N/A

The cottage was spacious, comfortable and clean. The bed was large and very comfortable. We loved being in the beautiful subtropical gardens. Tanya was a great host making sure we had everything we needed.The location was perfect for trails. Just disappointed that we stayed on a Monday when the restaurant is closed but we had really good food in the pub down the road.

Nothing. Everything was good.

Subtropical garden

The room was musty

Location was lovely, near to cafes, restaurants and history

Na

Lovely peaceful location, friendly welcome and daily visit from host to check we had all we needed. Have now stayed here 3 times- that's got to be a good recommendation! A great place to relax. It's close to the town but also lovely walks.

We loved it all!

Very dark cottage 1 as surrounded by goliage

The surroundings, big bed, good facilities

Bathroom floor remained wet after showers even into next day.

A wonderful and relaxing overnight stay. The tropical surrounds were idyllic. Great "unit" too - spacious, well-appointed with a relaxing tropical view from the porch.

Beautiful garden, fantastic onside restaurant

Room a little dark, but comfortable and secluded

The surroundings were exceedingly beautiful! Lush plantings with a quaint walk. Delicious restaurant on the property

The accommodations needed updating. Wooden steps saggy, Bed lumpy, furniture old

Comfortable stay with good amenities. Tania is excellent, responsive and helpful.

None

Great atmosphere surrounded by lush sub-tropical bush with lovely walking track through it. Cabin has full kitchen and comfy seating. Awesome veranda with table and chairs allowing you to eat/drink outside and soak up the surroundings. Lovely restaurant also on site. Cabins totally in sync with surroundings.

This is a green paradise, a green exotic oasis in the city of Kerikeri!

Absolutely nothing. This is the perfect accommodation by far

The size , the facilities, the outlook, the trail through the rainforest. The history of the land and what has been done and what the future plans are for the family. Absolutely amazing place to stay. Peace tranquility and so much to learn. The restaurant next door was unbelievable. Tania was brilliant and so informative.

There is nothing not to like

Clean and Tidy, Very Roomy, Good Bed, but it was dark and dingy due to being far to in close by the outside undergrowth

Very disappointed with the outside of our Cabin/Apartment, I think it was number 1 and none of the 78 photos that are off the property on Booking.com show any resemblance to that Cabin, we have been traveling in NZ for over 4 weeks and this was supposed to be a restful 3 days before returning to the UK, that we could site outside in the evening and enjoy some quite time. All the photos show the outside areas with Grass and Flowers, ours was nothing like that, very enclosed, dark and dingy, we never sat outside, it was really not what the sites pictures show, not a true representation of the outside area. Look at the Photos we have attached and Judge for your self’s Yes we knew it was Subtropical but doesn’t mean it should be different to the other Cabin on site

Perfect stay in a peaceful setting. Tanya was very accommodating and eager to make our stay comfortable

Nothing it was perfect

Comfortable stay, exceptionally helpful owner.

Spacious and beautiful surrounds

地理位置优越！

Amazing surroundings, lovely clean, comfortable and spacious cottage - brilliant host!

Nothing!

Excellent cabin with everything you need! Everything worked and as described. Very peaceful setting.

Nothing!

Tout. Le dépaysement total. Nous avions l'impression d'être seuls dans la jungle. La gérante est super sympa

Rien

Unique location in the Sub-tropical Gardens. Quiet but convenient. Stone Store/ good pub within walking distance. Kerikeri town a walk/ very short drive away, and handy for other nearby attractions.

Chalet 1 rather enclosed, with shrubs up to decking. Other 4 had the advantage of a grass area in front for a more open aspect/view.

The cottage had everything we could possibly need and was modern and comfortable with a deck overlooking a wonderful subtropical garden. Tania helped us with our washing and was a great host. Away from the hustle and bustle of the Bay of Islands.

Car parking required a bit of practice! Nothing really.

Great place to stay, the setting is magical, staff very friendly

This place is so beautiful. An entire bungalow set in a very peaceful 5 acre garden. We loved it. Tania and her Dad are lovely. The place is very clean and comfortable. Would really recommend it. The onsite restaurant is very good. Thanks for a wonderful stay. The bed was huge and comfortable and the bathroom is possibly the largest I’ve ever seen. We loved sitting on the balcony and having a cold one.

Everything was great

Needed another mirror, only one small one in the bathroom, coffee table would be good

The simplicity of the accommodation, the lush gardens, the friendliness of the staff, and the food and wine at the onsite restaurant Maha.

The location is best if you have a car, so best to have one during your stay. We had a lot of rain occur during our stay so the room smelled damp and the temp was humid. Use the fan, air con, and some room spray and you'll be ok. Note: the bugs and spiders were definitely around so be prepared to relocate them or use the bug spray if you are not a fan.

Location and surroundings

Coffee in the cabin

It is a wonderful place in midst of a subtropical paradise and close to the historical highlights, beautiful walkways and good restaurants in Kerikeri. The bungalows are well equipped and maintained, and allow a lot of privacy. Our hosts were most friendly, supportive and welcoming, and contributed to the lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed every day. Thank you!

The hostess, Tania, is a very friendly and welcoming lady. The cottage is clean, spacious, and located in a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing environment.

Fantastisch verblijf in een bijzondere tuin. Het restaurant serveert heerlijk eten. De cottage is van alle gemakken voorzien, de veranda is een fijne plek om te genieten van de planten en de vogels. Maak tijd voor een wandeling door de tuin! We werden enthousiast ontvangen door Tania. Helaas hadden we slechts tijd voor 1 nacht, maar hier zou ik zo langer kunnen blijven.

Niets viel tegen

De locatie was geweldig. Een restaurant naast de deir en de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden op loopafstand.

Location The owners are fabulous

Musty smell because the rooms are older and they are located in bush so not so sunny at times

The location was beautiful . Who knew there was so much bird life and trees right near town.

I loved that , it wasn't wall to wall like a motel , but with the price if a motel we had our own cabin surrounded by gardens , bird and trees . So relaxing . We really enjoyed the garden art walk too was a great way to slow down and enjoy a garden walk with a cool breeze and shade on a hot day.

location, environment, proximity to wonderful surroundings and the beaches

Nothing - this was our second visit and 3rd booked !!

Our cabin was very private, Tania was more than accommodating & extremely helpful & lovely

Amazing gardens and scenery ! Can get absolutely lost

The surroundings were absolutely magical. We knew there was a garden, but we didn't expect anything like this! Spectacular and beautiful, the variety of different plant species and birds was lovely. Truly a special place with walks around it.

Nice environment and nice restaurant on site Nice garden

The cottage is a bit old Hard to find the entrance

Peaceful surroundings.Fragrant forest , bird song . Perfect for a relaxing break

A beautiful space in a little piece of paradise just down the road from Kerikeri
