Simple and clean room
We arrived at night, but friendly staff coped. The room was simple, and clean. Please pay attention to find the entrance to the site of the accommodation. Parking space was wide. A toothbrush and shampoo and body soap are provided, and there is the refrigerator.

The location is good. The staff is friendly. The dental kits are provided which is helpful.
Unfortunately, it was noisy in the lodge. People talked loudly, and dogs barking. The public kitchen was dirty.

Could do so much better
When we arrived there was no-one on reception. In fact we never saw a member of staff at all. We had to borrow a phone to find our room number.
The room was ok. In fact it had really useful features like hooks and magnetic shower closures.
Some common areas were just dirty.
We didn't need to use it but the laundry was out of action.
The kitchen had almost no equipment, which was a challenge to self-cater in!

Not terrible but not great either. The lodge is clean and tidy and the owners are helpful. The rooms are a good size and accommodated our family of four. Our room was tidy also.
Unfortunately the upkeep just hasn't been keep in check. Everything is dated and many things are non functioning or broken. The Washing machine was broken during our stay.
Like I said, not terrible but not great either.
Such a great prospect if it was brought back to life again. I hope the owners are able to get it back to a great standard again someday.

Stop near the falls
It’s right next to haruru falls. The room was comfortable with its own bathroom. We used the kitchen and had dinner and breakfast outside. It’s close to Paihia if you have a car

To be fair, we only stayed overnight and didn’t realise the lovely location so close to the waterfalls, until we had checked out and went to explore. Haruru Falls are a must-see.

Property was exactly as advertised. The room was small, but everything we needed. Shared kitchen facility was fully equipped. Would have been nice to have two pillows per person instead of just one.
