Tangiaro Kiwi Retreat

“Fabulous stay at Tangiaro ”

Tangiaro is an amazing place to visit and stay. A real kiwi experience set in a great part of New Zealand. Delraye is a wonderful, friendly, organised and efficient Duty Manager. A complete star. I highly recommend a stay here.

“Secluded paradise ”

There's nothing really negative to say about this retreat. It is isolated and peaceful, set it a huge, native rain forest. Access is by road (partly dirt) or helicopter (for the other half). There is a variety of cabins that are well provisioned and generously sized. There's a stream that runs through the grounds which leads to a swimming hole. For the less adventurous there are heated spa booths that are private and set under the forest canopy. They brew their own beer that can be purchased at the bar. There's an eatery that serves pub food. The nearest beach is a 12-minute drive, but don't expect crowds of sunbathers. When we went to Stony Bay we had the entire place to ourselves for more than an hour before one other car arrived. This is not "the place to be seen", it is the place to disappear.

“Tranquil stay in the far north of the Coromandel Peninsular”

What an absolutely breathtaking location! While we didn't have the chance to spot Kiwis, I believe there's potential for more wildlife encounters in this stunning place.

What an absolutely breathtaking location! While we didn't have the chance to spot Kiwis, I believe there's potential for more wildlife encounters in this stunning place. The Coromandel Coastal Walkway offered us some truly amazing walks. Our accommodation was impressively spacious, clean, and featured a lovely, large comfy bed. Admittedly, the place could benefit from a bit of a refresh, but please don't let that deter you. They've faced challenges over the last three years and truly need people to experience this incredible destination. From the property, we took a picturesque walk along the Tangairo Stream leading to a secluded swimming hole where not a single other human was in sight! Kylie, with her exceptional hospitality, added an extra layer to our experience, sharing insightful knowledge about the area.

We enjoyed our stay Tangiaro Lodge, and felt reasonably relaxed during our stay we arrived early on new years eve and was allowed to enter our room early which was great the lodge we stayed at was a Lockwood style cabin. The bed was comfortable and the cabin was well maintained and was equipped with all the usual equipment for our stay, the water pressure was excellent… The buffet put on New Year’s Eve was amazing and we returned the next night to the restaurant because the food was so delicious. We visited the water hole along the stream which was nice , additionally we had used the guest spas and they were satisfactory. Unfortunately there were some negatives with Tangiaro Lodge, the glasses in cupboard were dirty and there was No Wifi (even after resetting it) luckily we had 4g . Our final gripe was the gravel road right outside kiwi lodge chalet 1 with the constant traffic in an out all day clearly not adhering to sign of 20kph at the entrance of the property, it was really off putting because we had the main road at the back of the cabin and gravel road at the front, we had to sit out the back to avoid the noise . We really wanted to enjoy our stay at Tangiaro Lodge but felt it somewhat fell short of our expectations. The website states “Nestled beneath beautiful Moehau Mountain on the Coromandel Peninsula, a little river trickles its way quietly through tranquil fauna. Birdsong, tinkling water and tree breezes are the only sounds to be heard” More like Birdsong, tinkling water , tree breezes and tyres on gravel are the only sounds to be heard.
