Couldn't fail it!

Highly recommend. Kerrie & her husband are delightful. Warm welcome as soon as we arrived, sorry we never got to say thank you & goodbye. The room had everything you could need - the continental breakfast had a great selection, very generous helpings &&& the home made shortbread Kerrie left us on our last night was mouth watering 🤤😋 loved the pool & the garden setting & the magnificent views out across Whangamata 🙌🙌 we were there for Beach Hop & it was a lovely relaxing place to return too. Would stay again in a heartbeat 💗

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.

The bathroom could be a little warmer.

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.

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.

This was our 2nd time staying at the lodge. Neville and Kerrie are great hosts. The lodge is neat, tidy. The refreshments in the mini kitchen are layed out thoughtfully.

The room was comfortable, and the amenities were great. However, the water pressure in the shower was a bit low. I wanted to wash my hair but decided not to, as it would have taken a long time to rinse out the shampoo and conditioner. Aside from that, everything else was perfect, and we really enjoyed our time here. Thank you for a lovely stay!

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!

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.

Everything was perfect.

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.

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.

An amazing room very stylish and so many thoughtful additions. The views stunning the pool and gardens made it so peaceful and we felt like we were Kings and Queens. The hosts were just as amazing totally recommend this place. The bush walk to town was a bonus like another adventure. Thank you

The accommodations were lovely. There was a beautiful view and having the pool was great on a hot day. the continental breakfast was just what we needed.
