The facility is a great place to spend a few days when you first come to NZ. It is only an hour from Auckland. We had heavy rain for 2 of the three days we were there and had a great time seeing the sites and conversing with Diane and Robin. The wine and hor d'ouerves every night (at 5 o'clock- Just like the Alan Jackson song!) are a great way to wind up a day outdoors. It is a great place to see the sites like Goat Island

This small B & B has everything that a couple could want for a short break. The comfortable elegance of the rooms ( we had the Coast Room) to the splendid light breakfast and the superb view from the room in the morning over towards the Great Barrier Island all combined to make this an unforgettable experience. The best bit of it all however was the friendliness of Dianne and Robin who ran the Lodge with an attention to detail which was second to none for us. From the welcome when we arrived to the farewell when we left, we could not have asked for more.

We stayed here as one of our many hotels/bed and breakfasts on our trip to new zealand. What a hidden gem. It was absolutely stunning and had so many special extras- heated floors and towel warmer, rain shower head, etc. The host was very accommodating as well, providing us with snacks and breakfast, as well as local recommendations. Very pleased!
