Woodhouse Mountain Lodge

The location was prestine, over looking the hibiscus coast of the New Zealand. The property is hidden away, near warkworth...a narrow drive thru about 5 km of bushland...but worth the drive. The staff were great, with meals to die for, excellent quality. The small villas were very luxurious, with no TV..

We have just come back from there after spending Two night's and I can't speak highly enough of the place. Absolutely Gorgeous!!! I have been and stayed at alot of different places.. But this place would be the equal of any of them for it's Uniqueness. The Staff.. the Food.. the Accomodation 12 out of Ten. What a magical way in Celebrating a 70th Birthday

My partner and I have just had a lovely night away at WML. It is an exceptional property with very quiet self contained cabins. They are very generous in size with VERY comfortable large beds. The main lodge is very comfortable, and we enjoyed sitting in the very elegant sofas with the fire on. The food is excellent, the service excellent. If you want a nice day or two away this is for you. Simon

I feel sad to have to write this review about an establishment I have visited many times, and have wonderful memories of. But time has not been good to the Woodhouse Lodge. Let me start by saying the staff, and restaurant are amazing. There can be nothing but praise for those areas of the business. The same cannot be said for the Lodges. We were put in what I can say was a chalet in need of TLC. I have stayed in far classier Best Westerns. Our introduction to Chalet 9 was ants walking across the desk in the room. It was quickly followed by an interesting battle for control of the gas fire in the room with our neighbors who, in turning their fire on, constantly turned ours on, too. Coming back from dinner then arriving back yo a sauna of a room was interesting, to say the least. The bathroom floor was flooded when we arrived, caused no doubt by the missing shower door. The famed Spa bath was broken, taped up in a very interesting fashion, but clearly powered up. The shower area needed a deep clean and had interesting deposits over it. As I said, the restaurant for dinner was wonderful, and breakfast was great. It is such a shame to have the experience ruined by things that could be solved so easily.

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.

We had a lovely 4 nights at Woodhouse. The views are amazing and the staff are very welcoming. A perfect place to relax and if that’s not enough Matakana is only 25 mins by car - the Saturday markets and the sculptureum did not disappoint!
