The location is wonderful, the host very friendly, but the place is in desperate need of renovation. The breakfast was a huge disappointment: no juice, no eggs, no cheese or ham... Coming back after a long day and then seeing that the bed isn't made (which is fine) and no replacement of towels was done. Paying NZD 185 per night is a joke

we stayed for a few nights while in the New Plymouth area. The Lodge offers excellent rooms with breakfast. Fruit, cereal, toast and jams, orange juice, tea or coffee. Evening meals can be booked by arrangement. The Lodge is in its own grounds surrounded by trees, there is lots of bird life including kereru, Tui , Tomtit Covid 19 is now at Level 1 so most rules do not apply

We stayed 4 delightful nights at the Patuha. Situated a short hop away from Oakura, the Lodge is 2km off Upper Pitone Rd and cleverly hidden deep in and bordering the Pukeiti Rainforest. Brilliant birdsong begins every day and there is no shortage of activities and sights to see in the Taranaki region. Mountain action, beach walks, fly fishing or explore directly from the lodge. The trail to the Pukeiti rainforest leads right off the main driveway. Our room was very spacious and the newly updated bathroom was spotless and as someone else has mentioned, great water pressure. Common areas are also quite spacious and comfy cosy with views of the Pouakai Range -and you can even get a glimpse of snow peaked Taranaki if you wander down the property. Sally. SallySallySally. We miss you! Thank you for the hospitality and the welcome. I cannot remember anywhere else that gave a welcome as kind as yours. Plus we also really REALLY appreciated how you went out of your way to feed us. We will be back...somehow,someplace, sometime but in the meantime... I hope we can send more friends to stay at the Patuha.…

My partner and I had the absolute best time imaginable at Patuha Lodge. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were just what we needed to fuel our day while exploring beautiful Taranaki! The lodge itself has such a nice cozy and homely feeling. With access to a bar, pool table and movie lounge area, there are lots of fun things to do with your family and friends (even on a rainy day)! The grounds are looked after very well and even if you choose to spend your entire time at the lodge, you’d not be at a loss for things to do, like taking a walk down to the river or walking around the lush gardens. I honestly couldn’t fault the room. It was perfectly clean and the bed was very, very comfortable. The bathroom has obviously just been redone and is stunning; my partner LOVED the waterfall shower! You can tell the owners care about making their guests stay as perfect as possible adding special touches like leaving locally made coffee in the room and some high end chocolates. There was also great access to tea and coffee making facilities with what seemed to be an endless supply of bikkies! :) Even though this was our first time staying, it will certainly not be our last! Thank you so much to the owners Sally and Harry for making our stay such a delight! Looking forward to coming back for another stay at your peaceful paradise (hopefully) soon! -Kalie and Kris…

My Partner & I checked in here for a relaxing time away. From the moment we arrived our hosts Harry & Sally were excellent. Our room was clean, great bed ( one of the best I have slept in) comfy pillows and a decent high pressure shower. It was nice to switch off from the outside world. We took a walk around the property with a track leading to an amazing stream. It was nice to reconnect with Nature.

Friendly owners, spacious room, very clean and tidy and quiet. Great breakfast too. An ideal place to explore Taranaki from. We really enjoyed our stay here! However, the wireless internet is the worst hotel internet I've experienced in years: you need a printed voucher every day, and the connection is terribly unreliable.

The property itself is really unique to begin with, going down a gravel road and from farmland into the pristine, thick native bush until the lodge comes into sight. There are a couple of tracks right on the property, including to a rather big stream, so you can have a small bushwalk and watch the Kereru and all the other native birds before you have even headed to Egmont N.P., so for nature lovers this is perfect. Don't expect too much glamour and luxury from the rooms themselves, but they're perfectly okay, though a bit chilly at night if that bothers you. The lodge has a really comfortable, cosy communal area as well, and as there aren't too many rooms, you should mostly have them to yourself. The food offered is solid, tasty kiwi cuisine which I believe is made by the host herself. She's welcoming and helpful. Getting to and from good Taranaki walks as well as New Plymouth doesnt take too long either. Thanks for the good stay. Now we've stayed in Dec 13, not 16 but I don't think that makes any difference, although tripadvisor doesnt let me choose any date later than 2016.…

I revisited Patuha Lodge in January, this time taking my two daughters with me. We were just there overnight, but we were made so welcome by the lovely owners, made full use of the laundry facilities and the big spa bath, the very good wifi connection - and breakfast was splendid! It's changed a little since 2013, when I came here with my husband - they don't generally do evening meals anymore, so the very isolated location of the place means it's wise to eat before arriving, or else take a picnic supper. But the location! Real native New Zealand rainforest, and the most gorgeous views of mountains. The air is amazingly fresh and pure up there. It's really not far at all from New Plymouth, and should be on the itinerary of anyone wanting to experience a completely unspoilt piece of rainforest. The deep, soaking peace of the place is glorious. It'd be perfect for a group spiritual retreat.…
