"Our host was extremely helpful and welcoming. The property was clean and had all the items we needed. Peaceful location and close to beautiful beaches."
"Excellent place to stay. Lovely and calm. We enjoyed the stay very much."
"We loved our stay. The breakfast was so nice — yogurt with muesli, muffins and butter, and a litre of milk. Bed was very comfortable and had a good night sleep. Our little dog could be there and had a lovely orchard to roam around. Far enough away from the main house that you felt like you were in your own world. We will be back next time we visit the grandchildren."
"Gorgeous setting with views of avocado trees. Lots of great touches — chocolates on the bed, Nespresso machine, complimentary breakfast items. Comfortable beds. Large unit."
"The lodge is clean, quiet, and roomy. The location is perfect for our visits to Hobbiton and Mt Maunganui. Brendon and his family are very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay."
"This is a rural location surrounded by an avocado orchard. It was ideal for our young Border Collie who loved playing with Luna, the puppy, in the orchard. It was a quiet and peaceful setting."
