The perfect end to a wonderful vacation! The room, view, and Margaret were just what we needed after two weeks traveling around New Zealand. Margaret was a great host who made us feel very comfortable. She gave us ideas of where to go, what to see and where to eat in nearby towns/communities. Her knowledge of the area was a... More

What a wonderful stay! The apartments were beautiful, tastefully furnished and very clean. It was an incredible place to relax and unwind, the beach is beautiful for walks and lovely for swimming. Margaret was such an amazing host, we felt welcomed from the minute we arrived and didn't want to leave. I would say this is one of the top... More

It was so good and Margaret so wonderful (she admitted to being drunk on our arrival), that if too many people go there it will be too busy for us to go back. My wife christened it 'paradise' and that was before Margaret knocked on our door with a plate of smoked local fish. Stunning!!! More

We would warmly recommend staying at Beach Lodge. We visited during low season, and found our apartment to be extremely well-equipped with many thoughtful touches. As the weather was sometimes a little unpredictable, it was lovely that the apartment was so relaxing and comfortable. Our apartment contained a fully equipped kitchen, breakfast bar, living room area with Sky TV. Our... More
