Wairua Lodge - Rainforest River Retreat

Absolute bliss

Stunning location with beautifully decorated rooms and gardens with so many extras to make your stay that bit more special. We loved the trails, the hot tub and the S’mores!

The road to get there was a bit exciting

Our stay was absolutely unforgettable. The lodge is incredibly beautiful and so peaceful — truly a tranquil escape surrounded by nature. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and cared for by the hosts, Debbie and Ernst. They are genuinely lovely, thoughtful people who go above and beyond to make your stay special. Everything at the lodge is so well thought out, from the big things to the smallest details. You can tell so much care has gone into anticipating every need. Whether it’s maps for the trails, equipment for exploring, boots you can borrow, or even little touches like lighters for the candles — everything you might possibly need is already there waiting for you. The walking trails are also so well prepared and easy to follow, making it effortless to explore the stunning surroundings. It all feels very homely, peaceful, and safe, with a real sense of comfort throughout the stay. We left feeling completely relaxed and grateful for such a beautiful experience. I would absolutely go back again without hesitation. 10 out of 10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
