Waipapa Bay Hotel & Travel Guide
Book early as there aren't many rooms on Travelocity in or around Waipapa Bay's heart.
The High Country Wilderness Retreat is the closest Travelocity-listed hotel to central Waipapa Bay and the sole place to stay less than a quick drive away.
The Manakau Lodge can be found about 15 miles (24 kilometers) away from the middle of Waipapa Bay. Another accommodation option is the Ardara Lodge B&B, which is positioned 19 miles (30 kilometers) away. Two other Travelocity-listed places to stay in the Waipapa Bay area are the Quality Suites Kaikoura as well as the Alpine View Motel.
If time allows, adventurous travelers should discover more of South Island. Check out South Island's old towns and cathedrals and see the region's beaches and coastal plains. Common pastimes in this particular area of New Zealand include snowboarding, skiing and mountain biking.
Looking for things to do? Spend a few hours checking out St Clair Winery and Pollard Park, in Blenheim, 40 miles (67 kilometers) north of Waipapa Bay. The The Peppertree Luxury Accommodation and Angel Luxury Lodge are a few of the Travelocity-listed long and short-stay options in Blenheim. Or, you could stay in Picton, 60 miles (93 kilometers) to the north of Waipapa Bay, where you can choose from the Escape To Picton and Asure Jasmine Court Motel. The Edwin Fox and Mabel Island are a couple of the more popular places to check out in Picton.
When you are flying via Woodbourne Airport and want to find accommodation nearby, check out Vintners Retreat or Stonehaven Vineyard Homestay.
