Lovely clean and spacious room. Greeted warmly and asked if we would like some wine and nibbles before dinner (we did!). Extensive advice on things to do locally and very kindly dropped us off for dinner at the local micro brewery. Outstanding views from the room, on the terrace and from the breakfast room. Highly recommended.
Thank you John
We had a great couple of days at this lovely property. It started with a warm welcome from Robin who was outside to greet us when we arrived. The room was excellent and included all we might have needed for our stay. Breakfast was great with superb views over the surrounding countryside to Omaha Beach and beyond. Robin and Dianne were very helpful in suggesting places to go and where to eat. Tawharanui Regional Park is definitely recommended - great walks, wonderful scenery. The early evening wine and nibbles were a bonus. Would have loved to stay longer to enjoy the hospitality and see more of the area.
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!
