Imagine yourself in a luxury chalet, suspended delicately on low stilts over a lagoon, a haven for bird and wildlife, a mirror for the magic of sunrise and sunset, reeds gently swaying. From your private extensive deck you look out not only over the waters, but also towards the manicured gardens on the waters edge filled with the vibrant colour of subtropical flowers and the owner's collection of garden art. The chalet itself is beautifully appointed, comfortable, modern, sleek and sophisticated.

Wai Hou Oma Lodge is an exceptional place.  This is a place to enjoy peace and relaxation; to soak in the pleasures of nature. Walk around the water's edge a little further and find your way to the spa pool on the edge of the lagoon. Tire of relaxation and step into the gymnasium where floor to ceiling windows provide viewing out over the ever-changing scenery
.
A low boardwalk out over the lake takes you back to your chalet when you are ready. As night falls the pathway is lit by soft blue lights sparkling in the water below. Sunset reflections turn the lagoon a fiery red. Sunrise is a golden mirror.

Far from busy highways and other holiday makers, this is a place of escape and rejuvenation in the most alluring of settings. In the middle of the lake there is a helipad. What a way to arrive at a truly luxury getaway as you drop down from the skies to land at your own private waterlodge retreat.
