Liked: Property conditions & facilities
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.

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

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.

Property was exactly as advertised. The room was small, but everything we needed. Shared kitchen facility was fully equipped. Would have been nice to have two pillows per person instead of just one.

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

The property suited my budget and provided me with the quiet environment I was looking for. The kitchen needs upgrading and was not well equipped.
