Angie and Garth have made such a wonderfully cosy and welcoming home. The fire being lit for canapés and breakfast was a highlight. We slept extremely well. And Angie and Garth were full of local tips and tricks to get the best out of our weekend. Thank you for making it so special!

A lovely warm welcome by our hosts. Great conversation and a wonderful dinner cooked and served to perfection.
Garth and Angie made my birthday celebration visit really special and both Jacqui and I highly recommend Whakaipo Lodge for their excellence in all aspects.

Absolutely stunning grounds. Our private room was very comfortable. Garth and Angie were extremely personal and helped us in so many ways. From local eateries, pubs, biking trails, and additional excursions. Angie's breakfasts were something that we looked forward to each and every morning. Cherished the times we would just sit down and talk with Garth. Could not have been a better place to Celebrate me turning 60 yrs old. Sincerely

Angie is an amazing cook who really listens to your likes and dislikes before providing you with such delicious options for breakfast! Garth is passionate about NZ and it shows. His mountain biking trip was unparalleled and took us to amazing places near Taupo Lake! They really do care about their guests and have been doing this long enough to anticipate nearly all of your needs. Their lodge is beautiful, clean and full of nice touches of the area and activities. My buddy and I are planning on coming back with our girlfriends next time we can come back to New Zealand.

De persoonlijke benadering van garth en Angie was zo bijzonder! Dat maakte meteen een fantastisch warm welkom. Het ontbrak ons aan niets. Werkelijk een geweldige plek om tot rust te komen, je verwend te voelen en met fantastische tips van het echtpaar de omgeving van taupo te ontdekken.

This was like staying in your New Zealand friend's home! A real taste of the country. The lodge was well designed and furnished in a very homely way. We stayed in Ruapehu suite which was lovely and had everything we wanted including a patio to sit out. Angie and Garth were excellent hosts - they looked after us very well. We ate in for two evenings and Angie's cooking was excellent. The first was a four course dinner and the second was a gourmet (and it really was!) pizza. All with NZ wine of course. Thank you so much for looking after us so well.

Our first stop during our 3 week New Zealand adventure was the Whakaipo Lodge. It was the perfect place to stay. Angie and Garth are great people and wonderful hosts! They provided delicious food - breakfast was amazing - and also took the time to help us plan things to do while in Taupo. We even got to feed their sheep, which was a lot of fun. It was such a memorable experience to stay with Angie and Garth - they made us feel right at home. We cannot think of a better place to stay to kick off a New Zealand trip. We highly recommend their lovely lodge!
