    Very welcoming and cosy lodge, with a nice view. Walking distance from the main street and beach. Self-service breakfast trays were nice and featured good food.

    Friendly welcome from Veronika, who gave us some complementary milk and we bought some lovely free-range eggs. We stayed in The Lodge, which has a very well-equipped kitchen and lots of nice furniture. So much space! Very comfortable beds. The bathroom (wet room) was quite basic but absolutely fine. We liked that separate boxes were provided for sorting recycling. Free laundry facilities. Various games, puzzles and DVDs. Very peaceful location

    Manakau Lodge is situated beautifully between the ocean and the mountains. Janice was a wonderful and gracious host, helping me with dinner recommendations and reservations, offering to drive us there, showing us walking trails nearby and providing us with fresh eggs for breakfast. The lodge is just perfect. Clean, beautiful, and had all the perfect “touches”. The sunrise that morning was incredible.

    Sitting directly across from a stunning mountain range is the delightful, well-managed Fyffe Country Lodge. Hosts Chris & Colin are the friendliest people we’ve met on our travels around New Zealand. It felt as though we’ve known each other for many years. The grounds are lovingly maintained. Our room, was perfect with its elegant decor and cleanliness beyond expectations. Meals were delicious and well-presented.

    I stayed in my own private room. It was perfect for a 3 night stay. The family who run the lodge are super friendly and chatty. The kitchen area was quite quiet when I stayed but I still met a few nice travellers. It was cleaned everyday.
