Maria was a fantastic hostess. The property is beautiful, the linens, dishes, etc. were very "European" and lovely. The breakfasts were excellent ... no one could go away hungry. Fresh bread, cheeses, fruits, meats, and made-to-order scrambled eggs couldn't have been better. If you wanted/needed anything or any answers, Polish Maria (as she liked to refer to herself) would do it for you...make reservations, get you something....whatever you needed, Maria was there for you! The epitome of what a B&B host should be! Thank you, Maria.

    The apartment was very spacious and had a balcony which offered a view of the sea in the distance. The open plan kitchen was very well equipped. We liked the fact that there was a washing machine and drier in the property, as well as off road parking, and its close proximity to the marina meant that we didn’t have far to go for local bars, restaurants and activities.

    We had a room next to a kitchen and sitting room so it was good to have that space for self catering. There are picnic style tables outside the rooms. The lodge is in a quiet setting. Whitianga itself is a great spot to explore the region. We enjoyed a boat trip to Cathedral Cove - highly recommend.
