Waking up to the sounds of birdlife ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 20 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Positives: The Lodge has a high cute factor. Location is very secluded and quiet. The room was very well equipped and comfortable. Nice bed & bedding which added to a cozy feeling. Not So Great: Check-in was long in that it took 23 minutes to get a response and a bit more for someone to arrive. Internet is limited to 100GB per day with rationale to effect that is thought sufficient as nature should take priority. Regardless, the internet connection was not available any point during the 2 day stay. When this was raised at check-in (Friday), operator indicated a technician would be called on Monday (post stay). Parking may be intimidating for some as it required reversing downgrade and around a corner in a tight location. Hot water quantity limits to short showers tho it recovers in a reasonable time - it can be a surprise for hair washing time! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### jenny 27 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Wat een geweldig mooie lokatie.

Fully equipped with all kitchen utensils. Set in the bush. Unfortunately weather was atrocious for most of the time but we were able to wander through some of the bush tracks and along the riverside. Even saw the glowworms. Nice drive up to Coromandel town and had the weather been better could have spent time wandering along the many beaches and rocks along the foreshore.

However the drive is very steep and rough gravel! The lodge we stayed at had a very antique feel and a bit time warpish!

Love the cottage surrounded by nature! Enjoyed the chill river and quietness! Exceptional hospitality, Murray and family were very friendly and helpful to provide information on where to go and what to explore around the area. Our cottage was fully equipped with everything we need; pots and pans are all well maintained too. Would have been great if I had bring some books to read on the balcony while enjoying the quiet nature. It calms our hearts and slow us down from the fast pace. It's a great place to spend quality time with loved ones. Me and my parents had a lovely 2 nights stay! ##### Daphne Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Knut 5 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sehr ruhig, familiär - einfach optimal Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und helfen wo sie können. Alles ist in einem ordentlichen Zustand. Die Lodge just Erin bisschen eng, aber eng ist im Urlaub ja gemütlich. Die Lage ist toll, schön ruhig und in 25 Minuten in Coromandel Town. Den Tipp für den schönsten Strand überhaupt gibt es gratis dazu. ##### Knut Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip 29 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Short trip to Coromandel Great location in the bush yet just off the main toad. Classic Kiwi bach experience. Comprehensive advice on local area. ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 25 Jan 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Hefty price not to have check in until 2.00pm & out by 10.00am the next day. There was some rubbish found under our bed. For the price we paid, we would have expected the shower to run properly. It would suddenly go cold, or scorching hot. They also ask you to have short showers, very odd. We could hear the people in the cottage next door as if they were in ours. A bit of work needs doing. I stayed there 4 times approx 10 yrs ago & loved it. I wont be going back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kent 20 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### It's a gem in a small town Our stay was great, and the hosts are friendly and made us feel at home. They also offered suggestions for stop overs on our way to Rotorua. ##### Kent Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 10 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Beautiful spot down by the river. We really enjoyed playing in the kayaks, swimming and sitting on the bank. Our kids didn’t want to leave the Lodge all the time we were there. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JOOSANG, 대한민국 6 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 힐링 굿 좋았습니다 힐링하기 아주 좋습니다 해안도로가 1차선으로 좀 위험하긴하지만 밤 하늘 별을 본다면 모든 것이 용서됩니다 ##### JOOSANG Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Nov 2018 Great stay - loved the nature surrounding our cottage. Unfortunately it was raining so didn't get to go for any walks or enjoy using the kayaks. We stayed inside and watched a DVD that we borrowed from reception! Also was able to borrow a highchair too. Thanks! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo, Ôtautahi 10 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It is a family friendly place of tranquility.

Our double bedroom lodge was more comfortable and well appointed than expected. Could easily take a couple of weeks just to explore the immediate surroundings. ##### Tom Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bo 6 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hyggeligt og dejligt naturskønt område Fantastisk natur med adgang til flod. Kunne låne kajak m.m. gratis. Meget venlig familie. ##### Bo ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 18 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Charming and rustic Charming comfortable chalet in a rustic environment. Deep in the woods with its own lazy river to swim or kayak in, or picnic/read beside, it was a real getaway. Our host Murray was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable - his tips about the area were great! Our cosy chalet was quiet, with a balcony to eat at and a couple of friendly visiting chickens. The kitchenette is well-equipped, with utensils, a microwave, small stove and fridge, but bring easy-to-cook food as the space is small. Overall we had a lovely stay over 2 nights! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Helsinki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helsinki-Hotels.d178261.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Blue Sky Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kemer-Hotels-Blue-Sky-Hotel.h14916395.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ayrlington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bath-Hotels-The-Ayrlington.h4322704.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [Tucked Away Cottage, Beautiful cottage in central Grassington with parking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Tucked-Away-Cottage.h19486426.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halifax-Hotels.d602873.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Le-Touquet-Paris-Plage-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d2153-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Le Meridien N'fis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Nfis.h571327.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Jakarta Amsterdam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Hotel-Jakarta-Amsterdam.h23319822.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marmaris-Hotels-Sun-Apartments.h17518426.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Mercure-Manchester-Piccadilly-Hotel.h34337.Hotel-Information) > > [Globales Mediterrani](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ciutadella-De-Menorca-Hotels-Globales-Mediterrani.h1881577.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartamentos Santa Rosa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Teguise-Hotels-Apartamentos-Santa-Rosa.h2745241.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in La Clusaz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Clusaz-Hotels.d180454.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [JAZ Fayrouz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-Fayrouz-Resort.h10413.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Warwick Town Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Town-Centre-Warwick-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n6224809-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Royal Bath and West Showground](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Bath-And-West-Showground-Hotels.0-l6245740-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Lipjan (PRN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/prn/london-to-pristina) ### Cars > [Car hire in Kochi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Kochi.d6053337.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Punjab](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Punjab.d6049945.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Targoviste](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Targoviste.d3000020390.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Guadeloupe Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guadeloupe.d69.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Weymouth Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weymouth-Harbour-Weymouth.d553248635975733700.Attraction)
