{"product_id":"whangaparaoa-lodge-whangaparoa-new-zealand","title":"Whangaparaoa Lodge","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhangaparaoa Peninsula, on Auckland's northern coast, is where this small lodge has settled in among native bush and a run of quiet beaches. The site was chosen for its position: close enough to the city for a short drive in, far enough to feel like a different pace of life. Little Manly Beach lies a walk from the door, and the peninsula holds ten other beaches within easy reach, along with Shakespear Regional Park and its views across the Hauraki Gulf. Rooms are fitted with modern comforts and coastal-styled interiors, each kept simple rather than showy, with air conditioning and proper linen throughout. The lodge runs on rooftop solar-leaning habits more broadly: biodegradable amenities, local breakfast produce, and attention to energy and waste. It is a compact stay. Mornings bring birdsong before the coffee does, and the terrace looks out over water rather than road. Guests paddleboard or kayak the sheltered coastline, play the local golf course above the sea, or take the short crossing to Tiritiri Matangi to see native birds close up. In the evening, Manly Village and Gulf Harbour hold the nearest cafés and restaurants, a few minutes off. There is an activity desk for booking those trips, along with parking and complimentary internet access. It suits travellers who want Auckland within reach but prefer to wake up to tide rather than traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43868354936891,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/whangaparaoa-lodge-whangaparoa-new-zealand","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
