우드하우스 마운틴 로지(Woodhouse Mountain Lodge)

We had a lovely stay! Although it is a narrow, gravel road for most of the way once you come off the motorway, it is beautiful, peaceful and worth the drive. The staff were attentative and service was great. The villas are spacious (attached to one other villa), have a lovely deep bath and a double shower is great. Breakfast was so nice! We

Friendly staff, stunning views and dinner which was beautifully presented and tasted delicious, however the room was dull and tired and several areas needed attention, such as vanity light not working, stains on the couch etc. It was lacking in any of the hospitality extras or touches which make a guest feel welcome and are found at equivalent lodges of this standard and price level. Not quite the luxury as advertised.

We spent two nights at the lodge and loved it. The staff were very welcoming and the lodge was lovely with lots of space to relax and a nice big fire. Our room was outstanding and the bed was very comfortable. We made use of the gas fire and enjoyed a lovely cheese board fist was delivered to our room. The breakfast each morning was great and the view was outstanding. We would definitely stay again.

This property is lovely. Rooms atre decorated well and clean. Lovely flowers and double showers. Stylish furnishings and lovely touches like baked biscuits on arrival, an espresso maker and umbrellas. Beds comfortable and linen great. Disappointing the spa baths did not work. The restaurant and main lodge area is beautifully decorated. The staff are friendly and the food lovely. Special thank you to the head chef who specially made a cheese soufflé for me. The dining room is lovely and the breakfasts superb. Overall I would highly recommend this property.

On our way from the Bay of Islands to the Coromandel Peninsula, we received a call from our travel agent telling us we wouldn't be able to reach our booked accommodation due to the aftermath of the February cyclone that had blocked some of the roads. They therefore reserved a room for us at the Woodhouse Mountain Lodge just north of Auckland. And a pleasant surprise it was. Once we found the lodge, that is. A long gravel approach road led us up the mountain to a well secluded domaine. Nice welcome from the receptionist. Very spacious room and bathroom in a semi-detached bungalow. Had the weather been more on our side, we could have enjoyed the nice private terrace with a beautiful view of the rolling hill countryside. Dinner and breakfast are taken in the main lodge house. We were somewhat disappointed by the quality of the food at dinner, not quite up to the standard of the otherwise luxurious surroundings. This is also a seminar hotel, of which one was being held during our stay. This may not be to the liking of all guests, but did not bother us for our overnight stay.

Very nice lodge in beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was excellent with a fireplace, sitting area and private patio. It is somewhat in the m idle of nowhere so it really is about relaxing. The restaurant was also fabulous with great food and wonderful service. We would certainly go again.

We had a beautiful stay here. It’s a long track to get there but well worth it! Very comfortable bed, spacious and peaceful room with a great view, a stylish lodge, excellent restaurant and super attentive staff. Would definitely recommend.

Disappointing that the spa bath in room was non operational and apparently all spa baths were the same. Shower complicated control system. Tried to go fancy but failed. Included breakfast good but doesn't start until 8am. Dinner nice but exorbitantly overpriced. Single lane gravel road into property dangerous with lots of blind corners and cars travelling too fast. Had a number of near misses.

We chose this to break the journey to Russell but, could not have been more pleased. 5km down a single track dirt road, slowly climbing up a dirt road. An amazing journey to get there and well worth it. DEFINITELY book dinner. Delicious food and a real destination hotel. We will definitely come back and would recommend.
