We received a warm welcome by Neville the owner on arrival, our lodge had a superb view of the coast and every amenity we needed for our two day stay. The kitchette was fully equipped. Clean, spacious and conveniently located. The gardens were beautifully manicured.

This is one of the best places we stayed during our trip round New Zealand. Very well equipped, everything we needed, great facilities, use of the pool if required. Great balcony with fabulous views. Continental Breakfast provided was excellent, another place we would have liked to stay longer. You definitely need a car to get there, but there is parking, and there are good facilities down in the town.

Many thanks for taking the time to review Brenton Lodge, we very much appreciate it. It was lovely to have you both stay and thankfully the weather didn't let us down too much.

All suites are located on the first floor, offering the best vistas towards the town of Whangamata and the Pacific beyond. The garden is beautiful; has several seating areas, both in the shade and in the sun and a small swimming pool. The Garde Suite is a beautiful sunny room with a small balcony. Breakfast is a feast and a treat, with choices for hot dishes; and served outside weather permitting. Sallie and David are splendid hosts.

We stayed 2 nights at Brenton Lodge at the beginning of March and were greeted by owner Sallie. Although we arrived early (to see where it was) Sallie said our lodge was all ready for us and we could go straight in. The lodge was beautifully kept, clean and spacious, with a superb veranda to sit on at night with a bottle of wine and snacks. The sunrise the first morning was glorious, looking from the veranda across to the sea. Breakfast on the outside terrace was plentiful, tasty and freshly cooked. Sallie was an excellent host and very knowledgeable with local sites, trips and venues. I would strongly recommend this for anyone wanted peaceful, restful accommodation in a great setting, with hosts that can't do enough for you.

Thank you for taking some time to review your stay at Brenton Lodge, I am hoping that by now you are back in Gt Britain and not stuck in New Zealand trying to get a flight out. It was a pleasure to have you both stay with us, and I hope that the rest of your holiday in New Zealand was all you wished it to be. Keep well and out of harms way.

We realised that our journey to the Coromandel Peninsula was going to take quite a while from the Bay of Islands - in fact due to errors in navigation it actually took us 7 hours to get here and it was such a relief to see our fantastic room at Brenton Lodge. This certainly is 5 star accommodation set in a lovely hill top garden setting. All of the guest rooms are separate to the owners accommodation which is more private and less intrusive for the hosts. Our room was spacious and so very clean and all facilities were excellent. We had a little private balcony overlooking the ocean. It is very well situated and we walked along the beach that evening prior to relaxing in a lovely comfortable bed for the night. On arrival we were asked our breakfast choices by completing a form which we were able to leave outside for the hosts. The following sunny morning breakfast was served on the terrace and it was by far the best breakfast we had throughout New Zealand - Eegs Benedict and smoked salmon to die for! There are 3 rooms and it was so nice to have breakfast served on a individual table alongside the other guests but far enough away to have a quiet breakfast if preferred. Through bed and breakfasts in NZ the majority of breakfast are served on a large table sitting with other guests which does not always suit all people. Our hosts were attentive but discrete - perfect!…

We had a very comfortable room which was well equipped & fabulous views. Breakfast in the garden was lovely. Sallie was very welcoming & gave us local tips & organised a taxi to take us into town for dinner. We enjoyed relaxing in the garden with a glass of wine. A great place to stay.
