TripAdvisor awards Certificate of Excellence
in world's best resorts
We were delighted to receive in the post a Certificate of Excellence for the year 2010 from TripAdvisor, where accommodation reviews are written by travellers, for travellers.
In the accompanying correspondence, Christine Peterson, President of TripAdvisor, offered congratulation on our 4.5 rating, saying that;
“we think a 4.5 rating on TripAdvisor is something you can be proud of. So by placing your Certificate of Excellence where your guests can see it, you’ll be displaying one of the most powerful recommendations – the endorsement of other guests.”
Whether you prefer worldwide hotel chains or cosy boutique hotels, you'll find real hotel reviews you can trust at TripAdvisor. Millions of travellers have shared their candid reviews of hotels, bed & breakfasts, inns, and more.

Moana Spa's Joint Celebration
Moana’s First Birthday and Welcome to Jenna, our new Senior Beauty Therapist
Moana Spa is delighted to introduce Jenna McDonnell, as our new Senior Beauty Therapist. Jenna has more than seven years experience previously working at the Caci Clinic in Hamilton, a two-year spell working in Perth, Australia and locally in Raglan. Jenna is excited about contributing to the success of Moana Spa and is now available for consultations and appointments.
With Jenna joining our team, we move to the next development stage and build on the success that we enjoyed in our first. Regular customers will confirm the ‘can-do’ approach at Moana, and our desire to provide a responsive, quality service.
Whether it is pure pampering or a special treat for friends and family then Moana Spa is the place to go.
With summer approaching, our clients are free to use our spa-pool, relax on the deck enjoying the bush and sea views, enjoy a quiet lunch or drink whilst enjoying the ambience of Waoku Lodge’s five-star luxury.
Book an individual session, come with a friend or as a group. However you book you will be assured of a warm welcome, service and attention that will delight you and the special atmosphere that is Moana Spa.
To celebrate Moana’s first birthday and the arrival of Jenna as our Senior Therapist, we are offering discounts of 20% off full price treatments for the first two weeks in November if you mention this advert when booking (conditions apply).

Waoku Lodge included
in world's best resorts
Waoku Lodge, Raglan's only five-star accommodation option, has been included in the USA's Travel & Leisure magazine list of Best Affordable Beach Resorts. There are forty establishments around the world included in this prestigious list, with Waoku Lodge the only inclusion from New Zealand.
Owners Sharon and Rob Southern said; "We are both surprised and delighted with this honour and will do our best to continue to attract overseas and domestic visitors to Raglan and the wider Waikato, who would not otherwise consider visiting the beautiful, wild west coast of the North Island."
Waoku Lodge offers discreet, luxury accommodation in self-contained apartments overlooking the Tasman Sea at Whale Bay, Raglan. The magazine article specifically mentions the food served at Waoku Lodge and recommends the smoked local salmon on crispy Rosti.
The recent opening, in November 2009, of Moana Day Spa at Waoku Lodge has further added to this unique venue and the Spa facilities are available to non-residents. Already customers from Raglan, Hamilton and beyond have experienced the ambience and luxurious setting of the Lodge for their beauty and massage therapies. New personal and group packages are now available.
