Modern, very comfortable studio unit. Excellent supply of bathroom necessities, including shower cap. Darker makeup flannel, always appreciated. Kitchenette with good supply of utensils, S&P, cooking oil, Plunger coffee and range of teas. Sadly, we didn't have enough spare time to use the pool, but wish we had. Even though the Lodge is on a very busy main road, we couldn't hear the traffic noise. Would definitely stay here again. No shops, cafes or restaurants within walking distance, but didn't feel that was a problem.

David and Stephanie were absolutely delightful hosts. The unit was modern, extra clean and fully equipped. Attention to detail was foremost. They even had electric bikes to rent - we had a blast!! We will definitely be back our next time in New Zealand ❤️

After a long day of driving, we pulled into the Lodge. The young man at reception was friendly and accommodating. We entered our unit and we were so happy to see a spacious, modern apartment unit with a beautiful balcony where we enjoyed a late night supper. Our only regret was that we had to leave the next day.

Absolutely superb. Receptionist Josh was very helpful both with regard to our room and with local directions. The facilities in room were first class. Bed really comfortable, good kitchen facilities, jet tub in bathroom (with bath salts), and roomy. Also chairs / settee for you both to use. Could not have been better - excellent value in contrast with where we are staying in Rotoroa tonight which only has one chair for us and not enough room to swing a cat

The staff was great and the only real issue was the location. Once we got there we did not want to drive into town for dinner. I will say, however, I did not see many (if any) hotels in the down town area or near the water so it just may be the way the city is laid out.
