Enjoy the unique rustic cabin with outstanding views of the lake and mountains.Relax in a large saucer shaped bath,while absorbing the views and tranquil surroundings.Alternatively,have a refreshing shower in the purpose built spacious black tiled shower.Stoke the fire up to give the double glazed cabin a warm glow to it, or sprawl out on the very spacious deck to relax and when you get a bit peckish, throw something on the BBQ for dinner or just grab something out of the fridge and cook over the gas hobs. Just relax and enjoy everything the cabin has to offer,including the super king bed with luxurious sheets and goose down duvets to ensure a great night’s sleep.The super king can become 2 large single beds if you require your own unique sleeping arrangements
Welcome to Whakaipo Bay Cabin Retreat.Your unique rustic cabin for you to enjoy and utilise all that it has to offer..With the lake only a short 5 km away, we have kayaks available for you to use and even some fishing gear if you want to go and catch your dinner.Our son is the expert fisherman, who will freely offer his advice and expertise if available.Walking and biking tracks are down by the lake and Whakaipo Bay offers a very refreshing swim after your exercise.We look forward to welcoming you and providing you with everything that you need to enjoy your stay.
