Awesome apartment
Beautiful, comfortable apartment. Extremely well equipped in a stunning location. Lovely extra touches like cereals (inc gluten free) fruit, bread, butter, jams, yoghurt several teas and coffees to name but a few. Lovely owner very helpful and eager to help and recommend other local businesses. Give this place your money, you wont regret it.

Great hospitality
This was beautiful accommodation and we wished we could have stayed longer. Lauren is wonderfully hospitable. Everything we could need was provided and there was lots of room to spread out. The shower was roomy, which was very pleasing, as most hotels seem to squeeze in a tiny shower cubicle. It was in a quiet, safe area and we slept really well.

The room was spacious clean and comfortable. Our unit felt a bit like a basement suite. The hotel is out of the main town area so you have to drive to restaurants. A quirky thing was charging $2 for a coffee pick. This was even though breakfast in your room was included.

Helpful host, comfortable but slightly dated apt.
The owner was extremely welcoming, helpful and anxious to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean and comfortable but was rather tired and out of date (although I understand plans are in place to upgrade it). It was a little smaller than we expected but was well situated with lovely views. Breakfast was very good.

The room which we enjoyed had a wonderful view, the amenities were thoughtful and convenient, and the large bathroom area offered great water pressure --- something we always love when traveling. Our host, Lauren, took the time to offer great suggestions and give us helpful information related to the area and New Zealand that made it easier for us to get settled and comfortable. Lauren also did a wonderful job providing fruit and keeping our space ready and clean. Many thanks to her. Overall, Tahi Lodge was a wonderful place to stay and we definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Laura greeted us upon arrival and helped us with a small load of laundry as the unit no longer has a washer/dryer. The unit was quite warm and had only one fan so my son’s bedroom was quite hot and muggy during the night. The breakfast provided was good- 4 assorted jams & honey, butter amd a loaf of bread, plus assorted cereals. The TV was quite small but fortunately was a Smart TV so we were able to access Netflix. Overall, I would highly recommend Tahi Lodge was the only caveat being the lack of a fan in the second bedroom.

Lovely & quiet.
Nice breakfast provided.
Felt more like a hotel with the level of service.
Recommended for a nice break and close to the Matakana Wine trail & nice local beach
