I liked everything about this property but especially the hospitality and warmth shown to us during our stay. I have stayed at many top level hotels which did not come close to the hospitality we received.

Pohutukawa Room
A great place to relax. Lovely setting, very private and peaceful. The Pohutukawa room has it's own kitchenette and a private bathroom outside which was very clean. Breakfast supplied which included cereals and fresh bread with butter and spreads. I would recommend staying here.

Great value for money, quiet and clean
Clean, quiet, and tidy room in the Whatuwhiwhi (heart of the beautiful Karikari Peninsula). Only minutes drive to Tokerau Beach, or to my favourite beach in New Zealand, Karikari Moana. Shared living area and bathrooms full of awesome kiwiana. Comfy bed, and nice continental breakfast. Had a nice warm welcome from Paul on arrival. Great value for money for the budget conscious. Highly recommend.

Nice, warm place to stay.
The kitchen was stocked well. Guests came and went but we all respected the house and each other. Had what we needed and was walking distance to takeaways and the tavern. Bed was comfortable but a bit squeeky. So many wonderful books to read! We'd stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The lodge is a delightful place and very comfortable. The owners were very helpful, friendly, and available. The kitchen was well stocked and very clean. The lodge is decorated in Tongan and Polynesian theme. There are many books to read. Our room was great and bathroom had a large floor shower. We have not seen a cleaner place to stay. Nice area to take a walk and close to the water and the Winery where we had dinner at the cafe with wine and watched the sunset. We plan to go back with our family in November.
