Great staff, great location, beautiful room.

The food was good. But could be higher to align with top standard of the lodge.

Beautiful setting, lovely relaxed environment.

The spa baths in the room were not working properly. Thankfully still able to have a bath. When pre booking for dinner cost was taken out when total accommodation was I felt we should have been pre warned as I had not allowed for this 3 days before our stay.

The area is really nice and away from everything and the room, although a little dated is how the photos show it to be. The pastry before breakfast was amazing.

We turned on the spa bath while we were in the bath and had 50+ live bugs and a lot of dirt come out of the jets into the bath we were in. We stood up covered in moving bugs... this wasn't great, but what really ruined our night was the staff disregarding us saying that there's a sign saying not to turn it on (there was no such sign) and said we just shouldn't have turned it on and that it doesn't state in the listing there's a spa bath rather than immediately apologising for what was clearly a major error on their behalf... a romantic getaway turned very sour. Probably a one off, but this still ruined our night and our stay. Cleanliness was lacking throughout the whole property with the bathroom facilities appearing not to have been properly cleaned, showers were entirely covered in white stuff and there was a bit of poo in the toilet, glasses weren't clean either and had lip marks on them still.

Absolutely incredible all round, staff welcoming, room immaculate! We will be back asap!

absolutely stunning, welcoming and amazing!

lovely rooms + dinner was great very quiet location. We loved sitting in front of the big open fire in the main reception area.

This is a romantic get-away paradise! The views are stunning, the fire is cozy and the food is exceptional! You will have no reason to leave however if you need to Warkworth is a 20min drive away. Definitely make a dinner reservation you will not be disappointed!

Perfection! Amazing view, good food! Highly recommend for couples getaway

The gravel road to get there- I think during night time can be quite difficult

Everything was wonderful. We found it hard to get the fireplace working in our room but we also hadn't asked the staff to help us out, which may have been an easy fix or even a missed step on our end. But everything was fabulous.

The service was awesome, arrived a bit early and was offered tea or coffee. Our group had a wander around the beautiful premises and then relaxed in the bar/chess room to enjoy our hot drinks. Our accommodation was superb. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Lovely peaceful views of the valley. The breakfast and pastries were delicious. Friendly staff.

We didn't like the drive up to the lodge. Not a fan of gravel roads. Went to Matakana to a concert and driving back in the dark on some parts of the narrow gravel road, was a bit scary.

best bed ever, good amazing, service the best

no Tv in room ,very remote but weather bad didn’t help

Exceptional property & facilities.

Food was good but not exceptional.

Beautiful views Peaceful and private Amazing breakfast

No complaints at all

Friendly welcoming staff, great restaurant meal, beautiful villa with fantastic deep bath beautifully positioned by bifold windows so you could relax and enjoy the views. Fantastic location. It was a real treat to stay here for our anniversary.

There was nothing disappointing about our stay.
