Hotel Description
A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Wharekauhau provides luxury lodge accommodation in New Zealand. In 1998 and 2004 Wharekauhau received a Grand Award from Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report and in 2003 received New Zealand's first and only "Best of Award of Excellence" from Wine Spectator magazine receiving this again in 2004. Often listed among the top 20 international resort hideaways, Wharekauhau consistently offers a world class experience.
As a honeymoon destination, relaxing resort, romantic retreat, wedding location, spa resort, or virtually any occasion, Wharekauhau provides luxury accommodation offering the chance for guests to enjoy unique New Zealand country hospitality.
Wharekauhau Lodge is based on a 5000 acre working sheep station overlooking the spectacular Palliser Bay. Guests can choose from a veritable smorgasbord of outdoor activities or simply indulge in splendid luxury, superb local wines and irresistible cuisine. Each perfect day ends in your own sumptuous cottage with built-in views of the magnificent ocean.
Conference and incentive groups will also find Wharekauhau an ideal venue. Wharekauhau Lodge can be booked as an exclusive venue and programmes tailored specifically for the each group. Activities such as quad-bikes, clay target shooting, horse-riding, jet-boating and team-building options are available along with numerous other choices.
"We have traveled to 20 countries and 40 states in the past 20 years. We visited Wharekauhau, a 5,000 acre sheep ranch/luxury resort on the southern coast of New Zealand in November, 2004. It is without a doubt the finest place we have visited in any country or any state. The lodging was 6 star, the surroundings were beautiful and breathtaking, and the service, meals, and wines as good as anywhere on the planet. I highly recommend it. We will definitely go back to Wharekauhau."
