Breakfast was exceptional! ##### Jan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful B&B Lonely Bay Lodge is beautiful B&B on exquisitely maintained grounds in Cook Beach. It is a ferry ride to Whitianga (Ferry is about a 25 minute walk or a 5 to 10 minute drive away) and about a 15 minute drive to Hahei beach. Kym was very helpful and welcoming--willing to make reservations, book activities, and even drive us to the ferry landing. Each morning, we were served a private very lavish breakfast each morning and the minibar was all included with wine, beer, water and snacks. Parking is also included in the price of the booking. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for accommodation in the Cormandel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful, luxurious house and very good, personal We had two nights and loved it It is a beautiful and quite new house, in French Provicincail style, which we love The host, Kim, was very helpful and hospitable ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bobby, Melbourne 11 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful house, very close to stunning beach.
