We stayed in the Tree House at the Wood Pigeon Lodge, and I have to say it's definitely the place to escape into nature, disconnect from your phones and, lastly, light the fire and immerse yourself in peace and tranquility. Tim was incredibly professional and helpful with arranging the booking, payment and getting us settled into the lodge. The view was spectacular and the sounds of nature were so nice, with the faint hum of a train in the distance. When we arrived late afternoon, it was roughly 14 degrees - we knew that being in this area it was going to get cold at night, however I was very impressed with how warm the tree house is! It is well insulated and when we first stepped into the tree house I didn't expect it to be so warm. Extra blankets are provided if needed (we didn't) and the fireplace does plenty well keeping the place warm. My partner and I used the WPL Tree House as our base for going out to do rafting in Turangi, quad biking in National Park, spending the day in Taupo and dining out in Ohakune. That said, this is also a spectacular place for creatives to spend some time in solitude: bring the guitar, writing materials etc and start creating. A great effort is put into minimising their carbon footprint - this is brilliant eco-friendly, natural accommodation and I would love to return again.
