Featuring garden views, Wairua Lodge - Rainforest River Retreat in Whitianga features accommodation, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace, water sports facilities and barbecue facilities. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. From the moment you arrive at Wairua lodge, you will know that you have just made the best decision in booking this retreat. The hosts have created a most beautiful and welcoming environment for their guests. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the children didn't want to leave. The breakfast provisions were delicious and plentiful with lots of items were locally sourced (fresh eggs from their own chickens - yum!). We originally had a tour booked our of Whitianga that was cancelled due to high winds. It truly was a blessing, because it meant we got to spend a whole day enjoying this beautiful spot, relaxing and rejuvenating. We enjoyed the night sky spa, the bath house, the rainforest walks, cooking on the feuerring, toasting marshmallows and just spending time together in this beautiful spot. The hosts Debbie and Ernst have really thought of everything, with provisions of walking shoes, gumboots and shovels for Hot Water Beach. We stayed in the self-contained Kiwi cabin and it was amazing, but the site also had the most beautiful and clean communal kitchen I have seen in my travels. The directions were great and everything was well signed so it was easy to find. I would highly recommend you include this place as an item on your itinerary, not just a place to lay your head at night as you trip around the North Island.

Boasting a garden and a terrace, The Mann Homestay, Premium King Room with Private Ensuite, Near Waihi & Coromandel provides accommodation in Waihi with free WiFi and mountain views. Featuring free private parking, the lodge is in an area where guests can engage in activities such as hiking and cycling. I felt very comfortable in your accommodation; everything was new and perfectly prepared. The large glass front overlooking the pasture and the mountain range was the most beautiful feature. It’s 5 minutes to Waihi town and to Gold Discovery Center, less than 15 minutes to Karangahake Gorge, to Hauraki Heritage Train, to Waihi Beach, and Bowentown. Hobiton and the route to the Coromandel Peninsula are less than an hour's drive away. Next time I’d stay more days.
