Waihau Bay Lodge is idyllically located with a backpacker hostel, chalets and in-house rooms. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available in the restaurant.
The Waihau Bay Lodge's Hotel is at the top of the boat ramp and is perfect for relaxing after a hard day's fishing, sharing those fish stories and watching the boats coming in and out of this beautiful haven.
