Location was great for us, very quiet and clean. Owners are just lovely people. We had joining rooms for 3 of us, that just made it . Owners were really easy going and with room cleaning or room make ups , they were really flexible and let us say when and if needed.

well to be honest I just didn't like the pillows , first world issues. Can't say anymore than that really it was a lovely stay.

Genuinely friendly, personal and warm welcome and farewell without being intrusive....outstanding customer service! Extremely spacious unit. Comfortably furnished meaning being able to relax and unwind was easy. Very well equipped kitchen. Spotlessly clean. Lovely that the heat pump and lights were on with curtains drawn ahead of our early evening arrival on a cold night. Quiet and private location. Throughly recommend staying here. I travel to Kerikeri several times a year for work and going forward this will be my go to accommodation.

The location was great very quiet.It was a short drive away from the town. When we arrived the staff were very welcoming. The room we had was a studio which came with its own mini kitchen Ideal if you have a family. The room was very spacious and the beds were very comfortable.

In the bathroom we had a shower but when the shower was in use instead of the water running down the drain it pretty much wet the whole bath and water covered the floor as it didn't really drain much.

We absolutely loved our stay at the lodge and will be back for sure. We had family from overseas and they were loving each moment of it. Rangi was an amazing host and such a lovely lady, shared her wealth of knowledge of the area and interacted with us in such a friendly way it made us feel super welcome each day. She went above and beyond.

Nothing to complain about at all

Staff were very friendly and helpful, beautiful surroundings and good sized accommodation. Free wifi worked perfectly and easily connect to the tv to watch Netflix etc. Amenities available to do your own cooking which is great

Shower is quite small but wouldn’t deter us from staying again

We have stayed here twice before, this time we had a Deluxe studio. The room was a good size with a large comfortable bed. The kitchen was adequate although we did not try to cook anything. The location is quiet with the small balcony overlooking a large lawned area. We were due to fly out of Auckland the day Hurricane Gabrielle was due to hit so we decided to leave a day early and find somewhere to stay closer to the airport. The manager tried to find us a room in a "sister" motel so we would only have to pay the difference in price for the room but unfortunately none were available. We were grateful for his efforts.

having to leave early!

Very comfortable, clean and spacious. Kitchen was well set up. Close to town and walking distance to eateries. Easy to get to ferries etc. Staff very accommodating.

Couldn't really use the balcony as rain before we arrived saturated the artificial grass. Probably better off without it so the balcony can be used.

The location was perfect for where we needed to be the next day. The welcome staff Renee (not sure whether this is spelt correctly) was great. The setting was beautiful, the room was very comfortable. The heat pump was very much welcomed.

Location is excellent, just next to my favorite chocolate factory and very very close to town and I would say you won’t disappoint if you choose this lodge to stay! It’s just wonderful!

In the hot season, please kindly plug in insect burner or anything that keep insect outdoor, because we don’t mind them in the nature but when they got indoor, kids will yell😅😅😅

The motel was in close proximity to the Saturday market and Makana chocolate factory- 2 of the more popular destinations in Kerikeri. The self- contained units were clean and spacious. The location was in a tranquil setting, surrounded by trees and park-like greenery. Staying in the motel puts one in a restful mode.
