Description
Waihou lodge was built in 2007 from Douglas fir logs sustainably grown in New Zealand's Kaingaroa forest. From conception we wanted the lodge to be a place that protects and enhances the surrounding natural environment, whilst providing an escape from the pollution, rush, and stress of everyday life.
All the interior timber, (there's a lot of it!) has been oiled and varnished using natural oils such as Eucalyptus and Citrus. As a result, the walls and ceiling 'breathes', so that the air inside is naturally cool and dry in summer, warm and dry in winter.
The lodge is situated in a private setting on a working sheep and cattle property, just a ten minute walk from the start of the Te Waihou walkway. This walkway follows the spring-fed upper reaches of the Waihou river for 4.7km, through farmland and native bush.
For fly or lure fishing enthusiasts, the gin-clear waters of this river are renowned for holding large numbers of elusive rainbow trout, which thrive in the pure cold water.

| Comments: | The lodge has a double bath, and a rainshower/conventional shower option. All the water for the lodge is pure cold spring water drawn from one of the many springs which create the river. All the water piping inside the lodge is made from plant derived non-toxic plastic, so the water is bottling quality for both drinking and bathing. |
