If you need to stay in the upper hutt area then this place is a must, great value for money, extremely friendly staff and management, super secure parking, restaurant and a safe pub right next door and if you dont have a car the trentham train station is literally just across the road. I highly recommend the Totara Lodge and i look forward to staying again soon.

From the lady who checked us in to the room itself everythings was great. Comfortable bed, lots of space & super convenient for the events we had planned that weekend. Only heard a couple of trains but sound was minimal however there is a pub next door so could hear people talking on and off but nothing crazy.

The staff were exceptionally lovely and accommodating. They were flexible and customer focussed. The train is just across the road but far enough you don't hear it. The room was BIG and everything was clean. Will definitely stay again!
