Our stay at Te Awa was the perfect welcome to New Zealand. Our hosts provided a personal experience for us in the Bay of Islands. The setting couldn’t have been more spectacular on the banks of the river, and our room was very comfortable and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool each afternoon, following a day of exploring, and watched the moon rise each evening from the expansive deck. Breakfasts were delicious and prepared us for a day of activity. We appreciated every recommendation provided by Martin and Joelson. They definitely set the bar for the rest of our time in New Zealand. If you have the chance to stay here, we couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Mum and I had a lovely stay at Martin and Eddy lodge. Amazing breakfast spread, easy to find, comfortable room, pool was amazing, and a lovely peaceful getaway in Paihia! Close to town, but far enough to just relax. Great value for money. I look forward to recommending Te Awa Lodge to friends and family and hopefully returning in the future!

Martin, our host was friendly, nothing too much trouble. The setting was spectacular, right by the river and so peaceful. Great poached eggs at breakfast. Would definitely recommend here to stay

We loved our stay at Te Awa lodge. The hosts were super friendly, helpful and flexible to accomodate our needs. The property´s location is stunning along the riverside. Breakfast was wonderful and flexible time wise. Marthin and Addy are superb hosts, and made us feel extremely welcome. They were also a wonderful source of information going around the area.

Location is fabulous with amazing river views and beautiful gardens. Lovely swimming pool, great host- Martin cannot do enough for you. Good breakfast and excellent barbecue facilities. All in all, a wonderful stay.

We loved everything about Te Awa Lodge. The hosts Martin and Eddy were amazing and we will definitely be back!

Nothing - it was excellent!

We had such a lovely stay with Martin, Whittaker en Coco. Only sad thing was we didn’t stay any longer. Could not recommend this accommodation enough.

Extremely nice and charming host, beautiful scenery, absolutely nothing we would have wanted more

Nothing

Very relaxing to sit on the balcony

For longer stays, it would be good to have access to a do-it yourself washing machine

Location amazing, hosts went above and beyond, accomodation was exceptional. An out of the box experience with the scenery and hospitality provided.

Nothing to dislike
