I once had a travel agent tell me, "some properties just transcend ratings". Until Wharekauhau I didn't really believe that. From start to finish the property and staff are deserving of high praise and flawless review. People always make the resort and each and every member of the small staff worked tirelessly to ensure the three of us had the best possible experience and we did. Go meet these professionals yourself in the superbly designed and maintained estate. You will not go wrong. We are looking forward to our next visit.

This is a beautiful hotel with a beautiful swimming pool but both need a little refurbishing. The property is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable. My biggest disappointment was the food which was almost inedible. Poorly displayed and terrible to taste.

This was a huge treat to have a night at exclusive Wharekauhau. This place is phenomenal - stunning location and facilities. The suites are beautiful and super comfy and you also have the main house with it's many rooms to explore and relax in and a recreation centre. Didn't do the spa or any of the extra activities - they are pricey but there was certainly enough to keep us entertained. The people are very warm, welcoming and engaging. What we loved.... 1) being greeted on arrival, car parked and our bags transferred to our suite while we sipped bubbles and had a tour of the main house and facilities, 2) Pre-dinner canapes and set course dinner, 3) recreation room, cigar room and games room, 4) location - views, and opportunity to walk through the paddocks, 5) privacy - was almost full but didn't bump into many people at all and 6) the food - top notch. What has stopped me giving it 5 stars.... upon arrival at the suite the Sky TV wasn't working. We spent far too much time trying to sort it.... didn't work so went to ring reception but the phone wasn't working either! Gas fire seemed to be faulty but got it working. The TV and phone was attended to with an apology, but as we had spent lots of time on this it would have been nice to have been given a free drink or similar. Things like that should be checked before guests check in.

Staff were amazing. Food was out of this world and the venue and surrounding property is phenomenal. If you are a couple looking for some where special to go, I can't recommend this place highly enough

Suites are amazing - with a real sense of being your own quite large slice of paradise. Staff are wonderful - and couldn't be more helpful. The overall feel of Wharekaukau is relaxed county lodge - with wonderful staff who do make you feel truly "at home". We are lucky enough to have stayed numerous times - and each time reminds us how special the place is and how well looked after we are. Stunning setting where we have experienced both amazing sunny/windless days to stormy days/nights - it is a truly special place in any weather.

My friend's and I had an amazing time here and felt like we got treated like Royalty. From the amazing Four Wheel Drive tour, through to the Drinks (I highly recommend the Espresso Martini's) through to the amazing service and food, everything was perfect. Thank you so much to the Lodge for making our visit so amazing. Can't wait to go back.

20/10 *** Hands down the best experience we've ever had while travelling. From landing on the front lawn we were greeting by the staff and the General Manager in the most outstanding way. The hospitality of this place is second to none. The staff went out of their way to make sure everything was catered for! If only we had more time in NZ we would return. Will be recommending this to all of our friends and family. If you haven't visited this magical location yet! YOU MUST

For my first trip to New Zealand, I was fortunate enough to stay at Wharekauhau Country Estate. I was looking forward to traveling to what looked to be pure paradise by the website photos. When landing on the lawn and being personally welcomed by the General Manager, all expectations were quickly surpassed. The lodge and surrounding estate are truly spectacular. There are more than enough activities on and around the property to give you a true kiwi experience. Nightly cocktail hour and dinners at the lodge were decadent, unique and nothing short of spectacular. The staff genuinely cares about their guests. If you're lucky enough, you might even get a cuddle from the lodge labrador, Merlot, during your stay. I would recommend Wharekauhau to anyone looking for pure luxury among the relaxed beauty of New Zealand. I will definitely be returning.
