Highly recommend. Kerrie & her husband are delightful. Warm welcome as soon as we arrived, sorry we never got to say thank you & goodbye. The room had everything you could need - the continental breakfast had a great selection, very generous helpings &&& the home made shortbread Kerrie left us on our last night was mouth watering 🤤😋 loved the pool & the garden setting & the magnificent views out across Whangamata 🙌🙌 we were there for Beach Hop & it was a lovely relaxing place to return too. Would stay again in a heartbeat 💗

The property was immaculate and offered amazing views of Whanagata, especially the ocean. More importantly, our hosts were awesome and told us a lot about the area and their love of this place.

The property looks a long way from the town but beside the Lodge is a walkway which is lovely walk about 20 minutes down to town. The views are amazing from the Lodge.

We loved the distance from town and the view was fantastic. It was a very relaxing place to be and very private setting.

The room was comfortable, and the amenities were great. However, the water pressure in the shower was a bit low. I wanted to wash my hair but decided not to, as it would have taken a long time to rinse out the shampoo and conditioner. Aside from that, everything else was perfect, and we really enjoyed our time here. Thank you for a lovely stay!

This was our 2nd time staying at the lodge. Neville and Kerrie are great hosts. The lodge is neat, tidy. The refreshments in the mini kitchen are layed out thoughtfully.

The bathroom could be a little warmer.

We loved the location, which was in the hills above Whangamata, but only a 20 minute walk to the town through beautiful countryside, or 5 minutes by car. The views from our room were stunning. Our room had a balcony with table and chairs so you could sit out and watch the sun go down or watch the sea and small boats. The room was large, clean, warm and comfortable. It was equipped with everything we needed. The small town is beautiful with lots of water based activities, good restaurants and cafes. The beach and harbour are stunning and you can walk at low tide over to another small Island. A great beach holiday spot which has not been spoiled. It is clean, feels safe and the people were friendly and welcoming to visitors.

Although Netflix was available, there was no Sky TV. It was Masters weekend & we were really keen to keep watching the progress of the golfers. However, we ended up at Whangamata Golf Club where we were made to feel really welcome while we watched the last day's coverage.

We really noticed how peaceful & quiet it was there. There were so many birds flitting around the garden too. The accommodation was clean & comfortable, especially the bed with it's crisp sheets! The breakfast tray was a nice addition & was well stocked. Fluffy robes were available, again a nice touch.

We walked into town using the footpath (30 minutes) & we couldn't get a taxi back as none available, so we had to walk back in the dark. It had been the Beach Hop, so I think all taxis were having a rest - so not our accommodations fault.

Lovely and clean lodge. Views are amazing. Lots of extra touches, ropes, toiletries & a basket of continental breakfast 😋 to enjoy in your lodge at a time that suits you.

Breakfast not good enough. Lack of choice compared to an English B&B. Limited selection provided in room on a help your self basis. No hot food.

Pleasant spot, pool, spacious room, good views.
