"Lovely clean and private accommodation for my husband to recover from knee replacement surgery. Our stay was made all the better by our wonderful hosts, who looked after us very well, checked on how my husband was recovering and insured we had everything we needed for our two weeks stay. Wonderful location with the local New World a 2-minute drive and the town centre a 5-minute drive. We highly recommend a stay here; you will not be disappointed. We would happily stay again."

This was a very quick stop on our way to the west coast. We got in late and were out early. What we saw was clean. We didn’t use the comfy looking robes. Just took showers and went to bed. In a cute little village. Great stop over.

The facility was fantastic, and the staff were even better. It was a very nice surprise. The location is perfect for anyone that wants to be just outside the traffic of Auckland, with a head-start to Hobbiton.
The staff were exceedingly kind and helpful. They made it very simple to arrive in the middle of the night. They also went well out of their way to help us out of a jam that could have ruined our trip.

The proprietor is very sweet and helpful. Room and shower spacious, clean, and very livable. Wish we would have had time to use the beautiful pool. Property overall very lovely and user friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed many incredible and beautiful places all over the world. Te Karaka Lodge is completely in a class by itself! Everything and everyone in this place is superb. There is not one little detail which is not lovingly cared for by the staff.
It is a gorgeous place in gorgeous surroundings. There were 4 of us and we were very sad not to be able to book a second night.
Dinner was indescribable. Every presentation rivaled a masterpiece painting. We have many pictures of both...
