The bathroom could be a little warmer.

We loved the location, which was in the hills above Whangamata, but only a 20 minute walk to the town through beautiful countryside, or 5 minutes by car. The views from our room were stunning. Our room had a balcony with table and chairs so you could sit out and watch the sun go down or watch the sea and small boats. The room was large, clean, warm and comfortable. It was equipped with everything we needed. The small town is beautiful with lots of water based activities, good restaurants and cafes. The beach and harbour are stunning and you can walk at low tide over to another small Island. A great beach holiday spot which has not been spoiled. It is clean, feels safe and the people were friendly and welcoming to visitors.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay. We would definitely return. The room was very clean and comfortable, the generous continental breakfast was great.

Although Netflix was available, there was no Sky TV. It was Masters weekend & we were really keen to keep watching the progress of the golfers. However, we ended up at Whangamata Golf Club where we were made to feel really welcome while we watched the last day's coverage.

We really noticed how peaceful & quiet it was there. There were so many birds flitting around the garden too. The accommodation was clean & comfortable, especially the bed with it's crisp sheets! The breakfast tray was a nice addition & was well stocked. Fluffy robes were available, again a nice touch.

We walked into town using the footpath (30 minutes) & we couldn't get a taxi back as none available, so we had to walk back in the dark. It had been the Beach Hop, so I think all taxis were having a rest - so not our accommodations fault.

Lovely and clean lodge. Views are amazing. Lots of extra touches, ropes, toiletries & a basket of continental breakfast 😋 to enjoy in your lodge at a time that suits you.

An absolutely gorgeous place to stay.It looked as if it had been designed and equipped by a professional interior designer and it had a stunning sea view.It was set in the owner’s private immaculate gardens and we were welcomed to walk around them.We were made to feel very welcome and were given directions and recommendations for dinner.There was a very nice continental breakfast left for us to enjoy at our leisure on the terrace.

Breakfast not good enough. Lack of choice compared to an English B&B. Limited selection provided in room on a help your self basis. No hot food.

Pleasant spot, pool, spacious room, good views.

Loved our terrace overlooking the gardens. Our room was spotless, and comfortable, with everything you might need. There was a very peaceful and friendly atmosphere. Hosts recommended a great restaurant in town, walked in via the shortcut, and the owner's daughter drove us home! Such a gorgeous place, felt rested after our visit.

This place is amazing! The views are stunning, the rooms are light, airy, and nicely decorated. Kerrie and Neville were so helpful and friendly. The gardens are beautiful, home to many native birds and their lovely songs. We really enjoyed the pretty walk from the lodge into town.

Such an amazing experience! From the moment we booked at the Brenton Lodge, we felt welcome. The owner sent us a text and updated us on what we could expect. The location is a perfect getaway, but it is still close to local shops & restaurants. We were greeted upon arrival, and the owner made sure we had everything we needed, plus he had started the heater prior to our arrival so that the room was cozy. We also received a recommendation to an awesome restaurant nearby. The accommodations were top-notch, plus they provided some amenities for a quick breakfast the next morning. I could go on and on about how wonderful the entire experience was, even though we only stayed one night. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to visit again. Thanks again to everyone at the Brenton Lodge for making our short stay a lifelong memory!

great deal of privacy! Very friendly and helpful hosts! Brilliant location with a stunning view! We felt ‘home’ immediately. The toughest part was to leave the place after 3 nights as we had to continue our trip.
