Top accommodation in a top location. Our welcome hostess was Wendy, and we also met Lisa, the main hostess. From the pick up service from the ferry, the check-in procedure, the breakfast, the view, the comfort, the convenient location and the laundry facilities, it was all superb. A maximum of six rooms are on offer, so at no time do you feel overwhelmed by lots of strangers around you. The breakfast is of good quality and plentiful, which included plunger coffee. The hostesses are chatty, but not intrusive, and very helpful.
The best views are from the shared breakfast room, as the plants obscure the view from when you are inside your room. Binoculars are available, too. Just another indication of the quality of the service.

I was fortunate to have short stay at the island and Real adventures recommended this lodge. Superb location and incredibly helpful staff. I was recommended to do a couple of tours and both were great.
The tour that blew me away was the Wild Kiwi Encounter. On the way over to the area to see them we even had the fortune to get a couple of Albatros escort us, but the highlight of the evening was to spot 3 Kiwi.....mind blowing. Even had one walk within inches of our group. Highly recommend this trip.

Fabulous location, light and airy rooms and great views over the bay. These are best enjoyed from the spacious outside deck, or the enormous picture window in the lounge. Lisa was the perfect host, giving us a really warm welcome and loads of information about walks, places to eat, local culture and where to spot a kiwi! The beds were the most comfortable we had experienced in New Zealand. Thank you, a great couple of days enjoyed by all the family.
