Whakaipo Lodge

Their Kiwi hosts, Garth & Angie London, share with their guests their passion for quality local food and wine, exploring the outdoors and the simple pleasure of sharing good company. Oh, and also the mantra that every day should start with the perfect cup of coffee! Garth comes from a pioneering family who were early settlers in the Pureora Forest during the timber milling days. Growing up on the banks of the Whanganui River and exploring the nearby Tongariro National Park instilled in Garth a lifelong passion for the outdoors and adventure. A keen hiker, climber, mountain biker, amateur photographer and painter, Garth enjoys sharing his passion and knowledge over that perfect cup of coffee they prepared for them.
