Took my husband here for a birthday lunch. We thought the price represented great value for money considering the quality of the establishment. The staff really looked after us and we had our own private dining room overlooking the ocean, with a lounge area where we could rest between courses - fabulous! Fantastic wine list, food, service and attention to... more

I will start this out by saying this is a very expensive lodge- over 1600NZ dollars a night (1100 USD with taxes). While the lodge and facilities are beautiful and the setting is absolutely lovely, the service was sorely lacking in this price range. We often feel that it is the little things that add up and there were very... more

If you have the money to spend and want a truly excellent lodge experience, then stay here on your next trip to NZ. Cant say enough about the staff, the accomodation, the activities, the sheer beauty of the location, and the food. Wharekauhau, there is no substitute.... more
