The Lodge it used to be a good place. Now, I guess only a few tourist choose this and mostly workers using for living there. The room was nice and tidy. People outside were very noisy at night and they started making noies in the very early morning.

Low cost, budget accommodation. Bedding was comfy enough, bathroom clean and tidy and new carpets, but otherwise needing a fair bit of TLC. Fine if you’re not intending to do much more than sleep and shower. Otherwise you might want to up the budget.

Adequate for our needs. A comfortable clean bed, great shower, clean toilet. Unexpected mini fridge and kettle in the room. We chose this place because it offered air conditioning and we were not disappointed. The towels were a bit like sandpaper though. Great for exfoliation! Our host was lively and helpful and welcoming.

Simple and clean room

We arrived at night, but friendly staff coped. The room was simple, and clean. Please pay attention to find the entrance to the site of the accommodation. Parking space was wide. A toothbrush and shampoo and body soap are provided, and there is the refrigerator.

The location is good. The staff is friendly. The dental kits are provided which is helpful. Unfortunately, it was noisy in the lodge. People talked loudly, and dogs barking. The public kitchen was dirty.

To be fair, we only stayed overnight and didn’t realise the lovely location so close to the waterfalls, until we had checked out and went to explore. Haruru Falls are a must-see.

Stop near the falls

It’s right next to haruru falls. The room was comfortable with its own bathroom. We used the kitchen and had dinner and breakfast outside. It’s close to Paihia if you have a car

Could do so much better

When we arrived there was no-one on reception. In fact we never saw a member of staff at all. We had to borrow a phone to find our room number. The room was ok. In fact it had really useful features like hooks and magnetic shower closures. Some common areas were just dirty. We didn't need to use it but the laundry was out of action. The kitchen had almost no equipment, which was a challenge to self-cater in!

We really liked the property. Our room was meticulously clean with linen ready for us. Security was good- we used the communal eating and cooking areas and everyone we encountered was friendly and the area was kept clean by users. Lovely to have a cold one on the deck overlooking the river

Not terrible but not great either. The lodge is clean and tidy and the owners are helpful. The rooms are a good size and accommodated our family of four. Our room was tidy also. Unfortunately the upkeep just hasn't been keep in check. Everything is dated and many things are non functioning or broken. The Washing machine was broken during our stay. Like I said, not terrible but not great either. Such a great prospect if it was brought back to life again. I hope the owners are able to get it back to a great standard again someday.
