Friendly welcome and room was spacious and comfortable. Set in park like grounds, but only a short distance from Whangarei city. Would stay again.

It's a very nice lodge. It's quiet and safe. The executive room was very spacious equipped with AC also, with beautiful view. The owner Andy is very nice and provided delicious breakfast. Enjoyed the stay with much and would definitely recommend!

Great place to stay if travelling around NZ. Good location if you want to do the tutukaka coast which we would highly recommend. Andy was a great host with plenty of local knowledge and recommendations and did an excellent breakfast

Everything about this property, especially the cooked breakfast, was amazing. Except the pillows. 😂

Property is beautiful. The host very nice, friendly and cooks very good.

Awesome host, awesome facilities, awesome grounds and buildings. What more can I say. Oh yes, the breakfast was pretty good as well.

Andy is such a great host! We were given great check in instructions and felt very comfortable during our stay. The room was large, clean, and provided everything that we were looking for.

Lovely little spot! We enjoyed the large room, walk through the garden, and included breakfast. We also ordered dinner, which Andy offered. My only complaint was the musty room smell.

The property was fully self contained and separate from main dwelling. A delicious breakfast was provided and a gourmet evening meal was an added extra. Host Andy was welcoming and informative about local attractions. His cooking skills are excellent! Couldnt fault it.

Great option to stay

A great place to stay, don’t be put off that it a few minutes out of town

Dinner was a bit expensive.

Excellent customer service, room was warm and ready for my arrival and they went the extra mile to provide food at very short notice, super impressed!🤗

Very upmarket, exceptionally clean, beautiful breakfast, totally impressed with everything. A very special stay, would totally recommend...

Easy to find, great messaging updates and congenial host

The host was extremely accommodating. He room was a bit dated but had lots of nice features. Water pressure was excellent. The property is a bit secluded and lots of small woodland creatures. The host is a very good cook-breakfast was exceptional.

Lovely property, very clean, very well kitted out, quirky decoration, fabric and furnishings. Food was fabulous. Special consideration taken with eco awareness in use of all products. Andy gave us lots of good advice, and also let us wash our car down!

A home away from home. Andy is very nice and took good care of us. The lodge is clean and it got everything you need. Highly recommended.

Better than expected! Such a cute room and accomodating staff to my arrival and leaving times! Would definitely stay here again.

Interesting, nice to have some place original to stay. Memorable. Friendly. Had stairs to our unit-FYI

Very flexible to our needs

Great stay.

Very nice room, large space, delicious cooked breakfast, very quiet country location although quite close to the SH1 so there was a bit of road noise but nothing excessive. Beautiful country setting and great views from the room I was in. Friendly host. Only criticism was the room smelt quite musty and it's a little way out from Whangarei town (5-10mins drive) but overall a nice place to stay.

Beautiful, spacious apartment just outside the main Whangarei town. Free cooked-to-order breakfast is an especially nice touch.

The breakfast was suburb and the staff was attentive and kind. The bed was comfortable and the room recently renovated and well appointed. I would highly recommend this stay for people interested in a farm setting outside of town.

Great room and lovely setting would recommend a stay here

Great place to just chill while also not being to far from some great eateries

Always a great place to stay

The property was not like the photos, was dusty and had half used cleaning products left in the bathroom. The photos are not representative of the property. The booking is misleading, we didn't realise we paid for the whole property, we only needed a room however this was not explained and we had to pay in full. Wouldn't stay again.

AMAZING stay again! I will keep coming back to this place. The hosts are FANTASTIC and accommodating. They go above and beyond every time. The breakfast is DELICIOUS. DEFINITELY a great place to stay in Whangarei especially if you don't want a hotel feel. The environment is beautiful and peaceful.

My daughter and I loved this hidden gem! We enjoyed our stay so much that we had to come right back a week later! The upstairs loft is cozy as can be and has beautiful views of their property! The bed is very comfortable and warm. The hosts are very kind and helpful in giving us directions to multiple things we were trying to find in town and they also got us a heated blanket for the bed. The most fantastic part of our stay was the the amazing breakfast! One of the hosts is an actual chef and cooks breakfast for you! It was fresh and tasted amazing and we can't wait until we have to come back to Whangarei again because we will definitely be staying here!

Very pleasant owners. Good amenities. Room could do with a clean, especially behind cabinets etc. No hot water in the shower.
