The Waitahanui Lodge, situated near Taupo in New Zealand, offers an authentic kiwi experience in a rustic setting by the picturesque lakefront. The lodge consists of five standalone chalets or cottages, with each accommodating three to five guests. Two cottages are located directly on the lake edge, while the others are just a few meters away from the water.
These cottages provide self-catering facilities, enabling guests to enjoy their stay at their own pace. Each cottage is supplied with linens and towels for a comfortable experience. Rates during peak seasons range from $119.00 to $209.00 per night, with off-peak rates varying between $99.00 to $179.00 per night.
Ideal for gatherings and events, the Waitahanui Lodge can host up to twenty guests. Visitors can utilize the private boat ramp for boat launches and partake in activities like rowing in dinghies, kayaking, or standup paddleboarding. Guests also have the option to enjoy barbecues while witnessing the stunning sunset views over the lake.
