Impeccably clean with such a thoughtful layout. Views are amazing and a fantastic bath tub. Couldn’t ask for anything more. A great place to switch off and relax with such wonderful hosts

The cabin at Whakaipo, exceeded expectations, my partner and I could not have been happier upon our arrival. From the amazing views of the hills to the extremely well kept cabin, we could not fault it one bit. Every amenity is provided. The massive bathroom and the fire place stood out, our only regret was not booking longer. And we will be back for sure.

Simply the best. Magical view, magical cabin.

The best property we have stayed in on the North Island. The view, facilities and cabin are outstanding. Furnished beautifully. Megan, the host, was responsive and helpful.

Romantic Winter Break - almost too magical to share!( We don't want our secret hideaway booked out!)

This was our 3rd time staying here & we'll be back next year. We always stay for our wedding anniversary, which is in winter. This is an ideal romantic, cosy retreat for couples. Sit by the roaring fire with a glass of wine and enjoy the majestic lake & snow capped-mountain view. Everything is luxury yet with a rustic & simple feel. The outdoor bath is a treat under the beautiful stars. The indoor bath is like a giant dinosaur egg & more than big enough for two! The very large bed is also extremely comfortable. Warm, spacious, clean, tidy, comfortable, cosy, private, beautiful & with a special view - what more could one want? (The host goes out of her way to ensure you have everything you need at all times, too.)

Stunning property with luxury amenities and incredible views.

WOW! This place has it all - A peaceful, rural bush setting but with all the luxuries of a 5 star hotel! Beautiful birdsong by day and stunning star gazing by night. Megan has thought of everything and even had the fire going for us when we arrived! It was the perfect spot for a romantic birthday getaway and we will definitely be back!
