Located in Karapiro in the Waikato region and Mystery Creek Events Centre reachable within 28 km, Kauri Lodge Karapiro provides accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private parking. Shona really made us feel like home. We loved how she spent time to do up so much detailing in her home… the way she arranged the throws and we had the most comfortable stay. There were so many beds that my kids were eager to try a different one each night of our stay.
