easy check in. amazing, spacious and clean room. Beach is literally across the road from the lodge. My room had stunning sunset views over the beach, it was lovely. The shower was really good as well - strong water pressure and hot temp. No issues with the wifi either, it was speedy as.

The location was really nice. The unit was spacious and clean. Parking was on site . Somehow we had a ton of bugs accumulated by our front door when we came back after a night dinner. So a lot got in when we opened the door. Maybe attracted to the lights ?? Not the fault of the place, but just letting others know. I’d definitely recommend staying here and it was otherwise really pleasant .

Nice room but expect some noise

Really nice spacious room with views out to the estuary which is pretty. I was enjoying my stay until I started hearing noises from the accompanying rooms so the walls are probably a little thin. That was during the nighttime and then I got woken up the next morning by people moving around and opening and closing cupboards etc. You can also hear cars coming and going as it’s only single glazing. If you’re not a light sleeper, this might not bother you. The bed was quite comfortable, I liked the big screen TV, and that there was a small kitchenette there

Fantastic place, charming, quiet, Terry a great host/owner; beautiful location 2.5 km walk to downtown Tairua but pitch dark at night, glad I had a reflector vest Basics in place for cooking, TV has Netflix, prime and good channels. Water across the street, complimentary kayaks and shovels for hot beach ( but I was late getting there) Great base to take off in day trips Definitely my go to should I ever return.
