It's a beautiful historic building and nice hosts. Beautiful communal lounge and amazing communal kitchen. As a solo female traveler it's hard to make use of these communal spaces at times. It is easier in a backpackers where many people are on their own and it's a hive of activity you don't feel in spotlight. When i arrived there was a man and woman having loud conversation in kitchen area which I could hear clearly from my adjacent room and it put me off going in to make food. Also arriving at night and not knowing area would have been nice if there were amenities there for purchase. Also please supply real milk! I think this is an excellent place for a group to stay. Less so for single traveler

A very comfortable and relaxing environment.

We enjoyed our stay, the place nice quiet had all the facilities we needed and was close to the shops. Conveniently located, short drive to Matakana and local attractions. We stay again!

Friendly old world charm.

Really good value for money, just got a small room but nice big communal lounge n pool etc

Great location, friendly staff. Comfortable and close to downtown. We walked all over town and enjoyed meals nearby.

I liked the building and had I more time I would have enjoyed the swimming pool.

Beautiful building with great facilites. Kitchenette well appointed. Pool area maintained well. Very friendly and helpful staff

Old house, furnishings and equipment. Bed was uncomfortable. Guests have free range access to lounge and kitchen. Parking was limited. Saturday night noise from local pub.

What a fantastic place to stsy.We keep coming back!

What a great find, let us in early to get ready for a wedding in Leigh, so accommodating. Beautiful old house with shared kitchen and lounge. We really loved this place

Lovely furnishings

Great place in a convenient location with very friendly staff. Lovely pool.

Really great staff and homely facilities, lovely guest lounge. Enjoyed the stay. It would be good if some effort was put into new facilities e.g. old tv in room and shower looking tired.

The room we stayed in is in need of refurbishment, it wasn’t good value for money.

Lovely old building, everything provided for.

It is always nice to be greeted at a place you have never stayed at before with a smile & kindness. We loved staying here. The family suite was spacious and perfect for us (3 adults & 2 kids). The shared lounge and kitchen were beautiful and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and spa. Highly recommend Bamboo Warkworth nearby (yummy Asian cuisine with lovely people to greet you there too)..

This is my second time staying at the lodge, love the vibe and the lady that runs it. Its got history and its in a brilliant location.
