Faultless experience at Wharekauhau Country Estate, I hosted 21 corporate guests who had an exceptional time. From arrival to staff to food & bev, everything was delivered to the highest quality. We're looking forward to next time already. Ka Rawe Tours

The staff here are beyond fantastic, that is really what sets this place a cut above the rest. As soon as we walked in we were made to feel special by Irma - almost like family returning home. Richard the GM came to introduce himself and made us feel very welcome, we thoroughly appreciated his time. Nicolas in the dining was exceptional- with his knowledge and passion for wines so infectious - he really made our experience so memorable- rare to find people that give this level of service nowadays. All food and beverages were 10/10. Stunning location - stunning rooms and impeccable service. We hope to stay again.

I once had a travel agent tell me, "some properties just transcend ratings". Until Wharekauhau I didn't really believe that. From start to finish the property and staff are deserving of high praise and flawless review. People always make the resort and each and every member of the small staff worked tirelessly to ensure the three of us had the best possible experience and we did. Go meet these professionals yourself in the superbly designed and maintained estate. You will not go wrong. We are looking forward to our next visit.

This is a beautiful hotel with a beautiful swimming pool but both need a little refurbishing. The property is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable. My biggest disappointment was the food which was almost inedible. Poorly displayed and terrible to taste.
