Whakaipo Lodge

Whakaipo Lodge Whakaipo Lodge - Memories to Cherish. Adjacent to beautiful Whakaipo Bay near Taupo, New Zealand. Coffee is on-the-house naturally.

Secluded, tranquil, private and yet still only a short distance from Taupo's restaurants and attractions. Whakaipo Lodge offers two beautifully appointed suites, each with its own private patio. Guests can relax in front of the log fire in the lodge lounge, or sit in the gardens, under a market umbrella and be entertained by native bird life, while enjoying a lovely New Zealand wine. Perhaps wander around the gardens and farm and say hello to our friendly sheep.
