We were so grateful to our hosts, Marg and John, for their warm welcome and the bottle of champagne in our room to help us celebrate the start of our honeymoon. The lodge is in a beautiful spot, high up on a hill overlooking the sea. We had delicious... More

The place is not easy to find but when you are there" what a magic place". The art of the hospitality is perfect. You seems to be in a family, listening the different stories of the place, listening the suggestions for the area. The design of the house is incredible and the terrace view is a dream. The confort is... More

This was our 2nd visit to New Zealand and to Poet's Corner in 2010. We couldn't resist it. Much has been written about the amazing view and the quality of the accommodation, which has just been redecorated. It's just excellent! However, what sets this lodge apart from many of the other excellent places where we have stayed in New Zealand... More

The views in all directions of the sea, the pastures, the tree covered hills, the lodge's gardens encourage simply relaxing and looking out for a long, long while. For a B&B the setting is unique. It is 6km from the gold mining town of Waihi but feels like far away. Since we were the only guests, Marg put us in... More
