We loved staying at Te Mata Lodge. The location is fantastic, easy walk into the shops and cafes and really central for many attractions (wineries and other activities). The host looked after us so well and was friendly and helpful. The rooms are really nicely taken care of, all the items you might want were in the room with lots of space and the biggest, comfiest bed!! Quiet location, good parking, wifi, storage, etc. Really good value for money.

Super clean, very friendly and very central location. However definitely an older style motel, rather than what I would call a lodge (ie extra facilities, views or ambience). Giant spa bath in the main bedroom felt like an 80's throwback....

Extended weekend

Very friendly helpful hosts who even garaged our ebikes. The bed was too firm for us & alot of light leaked in around the door and window blinds, but everything was very clean and in good condition. The location was perfect, about 2 minutes walk to shops & restaurants yet was also quiet.
