Ideally located just 5 minutes' drive from Whitianga town centre, WoodyHanger Lodge features views over Mercury Bay and is just metres away from native bush. It boasts an outdoor pool with bay views. Free WiFi is offered.

The location was incredible, but was matched by the facilities and the hospitality of Warren and Carol. The room was excellent and we enjoyed the view so much we got take out from town and came back to eat out on the balcony. The breakfast was perfect. We really wish we could have stayed longer

    Everything is already written - it's a real jewel and we are totally happy that we stayed three nights there. All the surrounding grounds are really impressive! So please take your time to do also some walks in the wonderful nature around the Lodge and enjoy their little extras.

    Fabulous location, magnificent lodge in the middle of the forest. The breakfast prepared by Debbie was perfect. Our best stay after our 2 first weeks in NZ.

    Wairua Lodge was just wonderful. It was tranquil, beautiful (surrounded by bushland) and peaceful. Very calming place. It has lovely fresh watering swimming holes to have a dip in, private bath looking out to the bush and has a spa pool and firepit. The hosts were great and welcoming. Breakfast was great, all homemade from the bread, honey and jam. The studio room and bathroom was lovely, clean and comfortable. Thank you just what we needed and we will definitely be coming back. We totally recommend the lodge :)

    This lodge is situated in a unique beautiful setting. There are so many extras - forest trails, swimming in the river and spots to sit and unwind hidden throughout the property. Just getting to the lodge is an adventure

    The Wairua Lodge has to be seen to be believed. A oasis of calm among pristine rainforest and gardens. The rooms are very comfortable and tastefully decorated, breakfast was excellent with home made bread, jams and homey. Nothing too much trouble for our lovely host Debbie and we thoroughly enjoyed the forest trails and quirky facilities, especially the outdoor bath! Our only regret is only staying for two nights with so much to do and see in the area. We thoroughly recommend the lodge as a great location for exploring Coromondel.

    We have travelled the world and our experience at Bayview lodge ranks with the best. The breakfast table was a work of art with a view to match! The attention to detail throughout the property was a credit to David, who was a superb host. We stayed in the upstairs suite with stunning views of the bay and surrounds. We relaxed in the spa and enjoyed the gorgeous gardens. If you are thinking of visiting this part of the world we would highly recommend staying in this wonderful place!

    We had a room next to a kitchen and sitting room so it was good to have that space for self catering. There are picnic style tables outside the rooms. The lodge is in a quiet setting. Whitianga itself is a great spot to explore the region. We enjoyed a boat trip to Cathedral Cove - highly recommend.
