A beautiful location with a homely feel. Well equipped unit for four, great linen, lovely balcony. We paid more to have a sea facing room but considering how expensive the room was per night (and a lot more than last time we stayed) it’s disappointing that one room at least did not have an en-suite. Towels not changed daily (due to “saving water”), extra cleaning charge of $30 pp for the “two extra guests” even though we booked for four people - surely the room rate should be for four people if it is set up to sleep four? I guess the price increase is due to Covid (?) but it was a lot and with the exclusions mentioned above, quite disappointing.

Great situation. Perfect for a short walk if arriving via the ferry from Paihia as we did. Near to lots of restaurants for an evening meal. Across the road from an excellent cafe for breakfast. Spacious room with a lovely patio to sit on with a bottle of wine in the evenings.

I stayed in one of the apartments. They are not on the waterfront like the lodge but are still in a great location. Literally a 2 minute walk to the water. The apartments have everything you need for a most enjoyable stay. Just wish I could have stayed longer. Great hosts!
