Fantastic location owned and ran by a very friendly attentive couple. This place is located straight across the road from a small beach, great for swimming. The shared deck area is a great place to enjoy a view out to the water and is perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Cannot speak highly enough of this place.

We stayed at the Lodge for 21 nights while visiting family in Whangaparaoa and we are so glad that we made the decision to stay there. Sandy and Glen were so welcoming and helpful during our long stay. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms are clean and spacious and the outdoor area was perfect for eating and socialising when we had visitors. The beautiful Little Manly beach is directly opposite and restaurants within a 10 minute walk. Overall, great staff, great location and we will definitely be back.

Whangaparao Lodge is a very clean and excellent choice for accommodations. The breakfast cooked for us each morning was amazing and started our day off well. Little Manly beach is across the street and the big manly beach is about 15 minutes by foot up and down some hills. Glen and Sandy who are the managers are very warm and welcoming, thoughtful and helpful! Unfortunately we had a lot of unexpected rain for our 5 night visit so we were happy to be staying in a very clean and comfortable room! Lots of little restaurants nearby- delicious Italian food! You really need a car to explore the area. An airport shuttle is not always easy nor are Ubers. If you are going this is a grand place to stay!

Hello, Thank you for your fabulous review and sharing your experience. We're really pleased you enjoyed your time here with us so much, and that you found your daily breakfast amazing! We're extremely blessed to be in such a wonderful spot across from the beach and we agree - we have some great restaurants just up the road. It's a pity the weather was so wet when you were here (just like home in Vancouver)! We really enjoyed our time with you both and are glad your husband could add some 'lifers' to his Birding records. Take good care and we hope to welcome you another time!

Very spacious, clean and comfortable room, across the road from the ocean, I’m sure some rooms have views of the water. Sandy was a very accommodating host. Bit of a walk to the local shops with a good choice of restaurants, which were very busy.

Thanks for your review! We love being opposite the beautiful beach - we're very lucky. We really appreciate your fantastic feedback, and yes most of our rooms have ocean views - it is dependent upon what room type you book of course. The 700metre walk to our local restaurants is definitely worth it and we're glad you managed to experience them. Hope to welcome you back another time!

Needing a place to rest up for a few days after arriving in New Zealand. We couldn’t have picked a better location or hotel! The Lodge is located in this immaculate suburban upscale neighborhood, literally surrounded by bays and beaches with fantastic restaurants you can find just a short stroll away. The Lodge is just the place to relax in peace and comfort with friendly hosts Glen and Sandy there to make your stay comfortable and effortless. The gourmet breakfast delivered to our room each morning was a great way to start the day. After three very kicked back days exploring the neighborhood, beaches and marinas, we were relaxed, rested and ready to take on New Zealand.

Fantastic hosts, luxurious spa bath, comfortable beds, super clean everywhere. No road noise. Close to a beach with lovey views from the beach. Only downside was that the room we were in was near the entrance which meant that we got the reversing van full of people arriving late noise which interrupted my sleep.

Hello Hunny, Thank you for your great review and sharing your experience. It's really satisfying for us to read your feedback and high praise, and we'll pass your comments on to our wonderful housekeeping team. Sorry that your sleep was interrupted by the late reversing van and people, and unfortunately that's out of our control; but when you come back, if you book one of our suites - that has double glazing and is away from any vans and people! Hope to welcome you back again when your plans allow.

We spent two nights there on our wedding anniversary and received a very warm welcome and were upgraded to a lovely spacious room with excellent sea views with a huge outdoor area. A hand written congratulations note, chocolates and an anniversary banner lying across the bed were welcome touches. We ordered gourmet breakfasts both days, they were delivered to our room at requested time and were delicious. Overall a very pleasant stay!
