Fun and friendly

Clean, comfortable and good value. We stayed in the apartment which was spacious and had a great balcony looking out over Havelock. It's not The Ritz, but it's unpretentious and friendly and I would certainly stay there again

A haven on a rainy night.

A place for backpackers which welcomed us, a senior couple. Why this place has a 2.9 is unjustified. The ambiance is friendly. People who pay one star should not expect five star lodging.

Good place to stay before a kayak adventure

We enjoyed our time at the Bluemoon Lodge. It is reasonably priced and falls between a hostel and a hotel. A bit closer to a hotel in that you can have a private room and bath, but don't expect extra services. The staff was friendly and the room was tidy. The fridge in the room gave us a good chuckle. The lodge is also the starting point for the Pelorus Eco Adventure Kayak trip, which was the main reason we selected the lodge.

Nice hot shower

Good location and comfortable for a family of four for a quick stopover. Arrived late and left early. Could heat food and cook toast and have a cuppa, which served its purpose. Unbelievably good shower! But a bit expensive for what you get -- probably about 50 bucks over priced.
