“Came with my sister, partner and BIL as a stop over for Hobbiton, and honestly loved staying here. The lady that runs the place was so incredibly kind and hospitable, the rooms were super spacious, clean and comfy, and we were so close to where we needed to be”

“Fantastic hosts, beautiful property”

“Amazing place! Breakfast in balcony ( weather allowing). Beautiful view. Superb hospitality. Close to beach, shops, Art déco quartier.”

“My family and I have stayed at different motels over the years, and this one is our favorite by far. My youngest is on the spectrum and this place is his absolute favorite place. He is especially fussy about alot of things, but this motel just seems to relax him. My other children just love the vibe the rooms have. The staff are friendly and it's relatively close to shops. Given the chance, my kids would live at Tui lodge. Fantastic accommodation.”

“Had to go here for work. This place is an emergency housing building for people who are not as fortunate as you or I. It is kept clean and tidy and I found the residents to be warm and welcoming. There is probably no reason anyone would come here except to be housed. I just thought I'd give it a rap as they do a wonderful job in caring for people in our community.”

“For anyone looking for a special treat then I highly recommend going to a Long Table Lunch. The service and the ambience is exceptional and you can just feel the history oozing out from inside and outside of the lodge. Chef Jimmy is an absolute whiz in the kitchen and it was a true honour to sample several of his masterpieces. I'd also like to praise the exceptional efforts the lovely Lucy took to make me and my octogenarian mother feel at home. She was a true star and we really appreciated her assistance during our meal and garden tour. It was a gorgeous excursion and an experience we will warmly cherish forever. Merry Christmas and our best wishes to all the wonderful team at Otahuna Lodge.”

“Peter and Tessa are exceptional moteliers, they go out of their way to accommodate the needs of their guests. They were prompt and reliable with airport pick-ups and were also very obliging with dropping us off at a family event. The motel rooms were large, light and airy, and very well equipped. We appreciated the space of the one bedroom unit. The gardens are immaculate and very colourful. We’ll be back!”

“You simply have to come here. Pip and Andy are fantastic hosts and there accommodation is fantastic. The rooms are spacious and uber clean. Pip and her team are very helpful with local information and can help with transit connections. We hired a car through them which was really convenient. The prepared breakfast is one of the best you likely ever experience. It certainly was for us. They will help you plan a fantastic experience while on this beautiful island.”

“Husband and I had such a great week long stay here. Sandy and Glen were great hosts sharing with us their personal recommendations and answering all our questions regarding NZ. Our room had a wonderful view of Little Manly Beach. The hotel is conveniently located for a quick walk to town for great meals and/or a relaxing swim at Big Manly Beach. Our room was equipped for preparing simple meals. We could enjoy dining in our room at the large table or on the verandah outside our room overlooking the beach. Absolutely beautiful. Sandy and Glen do offer an extra breakfast option. Glen is mighty talented with those poached eggs. Enjoy.”

“Have just checked out after staying for 3 nights in the family suite & cannot recommend this place enough. They have thought of everything, from flannels specifically for makeup to chilled water in the fridge. The beds were extremely comfortable, the space was clean, tidy & enjoyable. The spa was an absolute highlight & the staff are great!”

“Stayed overnight in a lovely clean and warm unit. Was lovely to arrive after a long drive and the heat pump was on and the room felt very welcoming. Plenty of towels and extra pillows and blankets. Was extremely quiet! Will be back”

“Our stay at the Delamore Lodge was fantastic! The lodge is unique and comfortable, with an incredible view. We loved waking up in the morning to the ocean view from our room and hiking down to the nearby bay. The service is phenomenal, very friendly and attentive staff. The food is 10/10-so fresh and we enjoyed trying the local foods! Wonderful breakfast by the fire each morning, evening appetizers, and the “Trust the Chef” dinner we had as fantastic. If you are looking for a charming lodge and great cuisine, the delamore is the place for you!”

“So friendly and very clean, we stayed in the B&B and the afternoon tea consisted of home baking, very yummy. Breakfast in the morning was much more than expected.. few minutes walk to Little Oneroa & 12 minutes to Oneroa Town, so very great location. Highly recommend Punga Lodge”

“Grainne and Kevin at Connemara Country Lodge were truly amazing. We had our wedding there over the weekend, and the day was nothing short of perfect. There wasn’t a single fault; they were incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and organized. They ensured everything ran smoothly, and most importantly, they made our wedding day everything we dreamed of at the perfect venue. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Liam and Erin Q”

“The venue is stunning, offering amazing food and wine in a typical French atmosphere. Relax in various spots, from fine dining with ocean and scenic views to casual lounging under the trees. The very nice garden, filled with lots of lavender, adds to the charm.”

“Warm family welcome. Excellent afternoon tea. In-depth talk by the host about his life and work as a sheepfarmer. Great to meet brass and speed and see them in action. Finally the sheep shearing. Outstanding. A wonderful visit, highly recommended. Thank you”

“Very good central location. Tidy room, no complaints or concerns. We arrived on a cold day and it was a nice touch to discover the room was warm with the heater already on. Property is on a steep hillside, so may present some challenges for those with mobility issues. A very pleasant stay.”

“Clean and comfortable hostel with everything you'd need in the kitchen. The beautiful garden and balconys face a park and some city skyline. Great location for transport, felt safe and secure, everyone working there was incredibly helpful and informative!”

“Stayed twice for work and will definitely recommend. They’ve added Nespresso machines in the rooms since the last time I stayed which is great for coffee lovers. The beds are so comfortable! In general- great find!”
