Everything was perfect, and there was nothing to complain about.

“Great Stay With Lovely Hosts”

Angie and Garth are the best hosts! We felt so welcomed and loved our stay. Angie is a fantastic cook, so don’t miss the afternoon tea, canapes, and amazing breakfast. Feeding and petting their sweet little sheep was the cherry on top. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone.

“Arrived as Strangers, Left as Friends”

Angie and Garth’s hospitality is truly second to none. From the moment we arrived, their bright smiles, warm demeanor, and easy conversation made us feel instantly at home. But it wasn’t just a warm welcome — their genuine kindness and interest continued throughout our entire stay. Every conversation, whether about the lodge, life, or anything in between, felt like catching up with old friends. There were plenty of opportunities to connect, each one a highlight of our visit. Their hospitality extended beyond conversation, too. From delightful afternoon canapés to incredible breakfasts, our hearts — and taste buds — were absolutely delighted. Speaking of food, Angie is a true master in the kitchen! Her recipes (some of which you can find on their website) are absolutely phenomenal — easily rivaling any restaurant. And when you add Garth’s coffee‑making skills into the mix, you’ve got the perfect start to your day. The property itself is stunning. Our room was spacious, cozy, and thoughtfully appointed, and the lack of light pollution made the evenings perfect for stargazing. With plenty of beautiful open space to explore, Whaikapo Lodge felt like a peaceful sanctuary. We’re so grateful we stayed here — and we already can’t wait to return. Thank you, Angie and Garth, for your kindness, your care, and the incredible slice of heaven you’ve created at Whakaipo Lodge!

“Peace and quiet, amazing hospitals just minutes from Lake Taupo.”

The hospitality was incredible. Garth and Angie did everything to make us feel comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, the setting was quiet and lovely, and the sheep visit was a bonus. There was nothing negative.

“Eine wunderbare Informationsquelle und ein entspannender Rückzugsort”

The owners of the lodge, Garth and Angie, are two of the most charming people we’ve ever met. Staying at their lodge was delightful, with plenty of storytelling, good food and wine, and the sheep that escaped from their barn provided a lot of laughter. The lodge is very clean, and the room and bed were very comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay, to the point that we were sad to leave. I would recommend anyone visiting the Taupo area to stay here, not only for the accommodation but also for the wonderful hosts. There was nothing negative.
