Wahapu Lodge - Luxury sea views

PaulaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This time of the year is our wedding anniversary, we always stay in Kororāreka (Russell) its part of our story. We would always stay in the village mainly at the Duke however this year we changed it up and we did not regret it. It was a different perspective and gave us so much more independence and privacy. The view 10/10 and all amenities were well thought out, loved the open bath tub on the deck. Appreciated being told about the availability to check in early as well. Highly recommend.

Platinum Lodge Sleeps 8 - Whale Bay 10 mins walk

AlisonRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Well equipped kitchen, big spacious house, great for our group of 5. At least a 10min flat walk to the beach, however a beach cart was needed if taking a beach cabana and chilli bins etc. We opted for a short drive to the beach when we were going for a few hours. Nice walk up the hill through bush to get to Whale Bay which was beautiful.

What an absolute gem of a place! 🤩 Tucked away and beautifully peaceful - the house is crafted with such love and attention to detail. You can really feel it. And the night sky? Just magical. The photos honestly don’t do it justice - you have to be there to feel the atmosphere ✨ If you’re wondering where to stay, stop wondering. This is the place 👍 Huge thanks to Gunter and his family for being such kind and thoughtful hosts for letting us check out a bit later and for the lovely gesture of a bottle of wine 🥰 Just come. The skies are clear, the stars are stunning, and the whole experience is unforgettable! 🙌
