Amazing place

We rented this place as we had a wedding on the same street - and it turned out to be perfect. It was a huge, house - with spectacular view towards Omaha. It had multiple living area's which made it perfect for a large group. We would love to go back there again - for another family event - it was perfect. Thanks so much Dan for your kindness and great communication throughout. We loved it.

Charming Lodge with Stunning View

Whangateau Lodge in Leigh surpassed our expectations with its charm and beautiful views. Despite visiting in winter, the lodge provided ample space to spread out and relax. The dining spaces and wonderful kitchen are perfect for a large group, while the fireplace and lounge were a fantastic place to come together at the end of a day. We cannot forget to mention the gorgeous views! We highly recommend this lodge for anyone looking for a getaway in Leigh.

Great Stay

Such a great stay. 10 of us stayed here and enjoyed every second of it. Great for large families and toddlers. Very comfortable and well equipped. Could not have asked for anything more. The big fireplace kept us all warm while a storm was passing over us. Daniel was a great host and was very helpful. Look forward to booking again in the near future.

Great view! Great house for a large group of people.

We adults and kids had lots of fun during the stay. The house is located a little far from shops, and need to drive a bit on gravel road, but I guess you only get such superb view if the house is in the middle of nowhere 😜 I would say everything has been great except the shower water temperature is not so great, either super hot or super cold, nothing in between. Anyway the house is fully equipped with everything you need during the stay, so its’s a pretty great experience 👍

Whangateau Lodge Getaway

If you'd like space and quiet to unwind with family or friends then I can highly recommend the lodge. Daniel ( our host ) was most accomodating and made the process super easy. I would go back in a heartbeat. Particularly loved the birdlife.

A Beautiful Stay

This property is incredible! The house itself is beautiful and clean and the views are stunning. The drive was a little bit of a work out for our car but aside from that everything was perfect. The communication from the owner was fantastic and always very helpful. We loved stay there and would stay again 😌

Large family holiday

As many before have said the pictures do not do this property justice. Well maintained nd presented with everything you could need provided. Used the pizza oven every day for roasts, curries as well as the garlic pizza starters and pizza deserts. Mike was a joy to deal with - always prompt and helpful.

Amazing House

Perfect place to stay (also with children). The house is so spacious, clean, and cozy, not too far away from beaches, shops, bars, restaurants, supermarkets etc. Super! We loved our “pizza making” evenings. The house has its very own pizza oven, where we enjoyed a few nights. The views are amazing! Daniel is a very friendly and helpful owner. (Thank you for everything). Such a great stay with family and friends. Thank you and will definitely be staying again!

A brilliant place to stay - a group of 6 couples, all with a double room each.

We had a fantastic weekend in all, Whangateau Lodge was the perfect base for us with plenty of space to "get-away" from the group if wanted. Daniel had great suggestions of things to do in the area and was really helpful throughout the process. We used the spa pool everyday and the pizza oven was great for the men's cooking challenge - a pizza dinner including making the dough for bases. We did see one peacock which was cool, but there was "evidence" of their presence, which did catch a couple of bare feet off-guard. Fantastic - highly recommended.

Exceptional Property

Exceptional communication, the house is very impressive and was way bigger than we thought. the views are beautiful (forever changing). The layout is great, lots of areas to entertain. The games room was a lot of fun. We made great pizzas in the pizza oven. Daniel had thoughtfully prepared the house prior to our arrival. We recommend this property for any occasion.

Great house for large groups

Big group of friends enjoyed our stay here over New Years. Far enough away from everything to be peaceful but close enough for those who need to grab a coffee or check out a market. Daniel was awesome to deal with from start to end and the house has everything one could need. Awesome games room too!

Beautiful property

We had a very pleasant stay. The property was very beautiful. Everything was provided and prepared, from linen, towels to toys to cooking oil and soy source. We all loved the layout and size of the house. The location is good, very safe, very quiet. The only thing we didn't prepare was the drive on the unsealed road, our cars were not suited on such roads. Daniel was totally understanding when I mentioned that one of us had taken a towel away by mistake and had left some of our belongs at the property. He was very nice to work with.

Great location and house for a special occasion

The Lodge is well laid out and ensures everyone has their own space. The location is absolutely amazing. The house is very spacious and great for groups. The house is very well appointed with many little extras to make for a wonderful stay. Daniel's communications were excellent and he ensured everything was well organised for our stay. We would definitely visit again. Thank you for making this wonderful Lodge available for others to share.
