This was our last stop on our 2 week holiday before heading back to Napier and it was a great way to end our holiday. The Lodge was beautiful and the views were stunning. The room was great and had a lovely outside sitting area overlooking the views and the garden. Ann and Eddie were very friendly and told us... More

We stayed in one of the suites for 3 nights while we explored the surrounding area as part of a longer touring holiday. The room (suite) was exceptional with views in both directions.

The home cooked meal was beautiful as was the breakfast, I ordered fried bread - yummy. Our hosts were charming and so interesting... More
