It was very restful staying there and the little deck is such a great area to relax on. You have done wonders with the property and we loved the colour scheme you have chosen. We will definitely be heading back for a much longer holiday and would love to spend more time there - maybe at The Lodge next time." Ted & Katherine, Wellington "It was so great to get out of the city and truly relax! The Lodge was a fabulous base for our trips to Cape Reinga and Ninety Mile Beach. The Lodge itself was so picturesque and comfortable - it really feels like a home away from home" Jess Brewer & Matt Gosset, Auckland
