My husband and I were very surprised by this lodge in a modern and very tasteful style, really different from the other lodges we have seen in NZ. We were also delighted by the warm welcome of Susan, the owner. Our room was simply amazing. View to the ocean, small private terrace and inside a king size bed in a... more

Friendly hosts in amazing home. Double upgrade meant we had the most amazing room we had ever slept in. A must for any traveller in New Zealand more

We happened to be the only guests that night, and our hosts Susan and Robert still went all out, even ordering up a spectacular sunset for us as we sipped wine outside with them. (see photo attached). Dinner was delicious -- they made us... more

Being a high maintenance wife when it comes to accommodation it was challenging to find a place as beautiful as this in the area. The Lodge is elegant and stylish and yet homely and comfortable too.
