Relax a Lodge
Apa Kata Tetamu
Open, airy, EXTREMELY clean!! I can't say enough good. Staff/owners very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again, and I hope I have an opportunity to do that!! There are some long term guests also staying in the Main House, and they couldn't have been nicer!! I'm a solo female traveler in my mid 50s. I felt very safe and comfortable. I liked being in the Main House to I could talk to others whenever I felt like socializing. Sign next to toilet in bathroom is hilarious 😂

Claes was a great host and he is attentive and friendly and lives in the property with the other lodgers. It definitely has a bit more a hostel feel, but definitely welcoming and friendly. I stayed over the Christmas period and they had a potluck on Christmas Day which was lovely when you’re solo travellers and a bit deprived of human contact. The property has big grounds as well as a pool, you can go and look at the pigs and chicken as well as the orchard. It is pretty chilled and you can do whatever you like really!

Clean, good location and nice hosts. I stayed in shared accommodation - had my own room but shared bathroom and other amenities (kitchen, lounge). My bedroom had a comfy bed and big wardrobe with shelves for my clothes and luggage. Also, it had lots of mirrors and two power outlets.

Quiet private and good value for money. My booking was a bit all over the place on my side but the staff were so patient and helpful

Very private, comfortable, and well-equipped studio cottage (Doolittle) set within a working organic fruit orchard. Orange trees in full bloom were within feet of the patio. The smell was intoxicating and the hosts provided fresh fruit from the orchard in the cottage and a juicer was present if you wished to make fresh-squeezed OJ. The hosts put together a very nice information book, with useful information about both the cottage and local restaurants, wineries, sights, and other attractions. The cottage was within easy driving distance of Kerikeri and Paihia/Bay of Islands.

I loved how clean it was and homey feeling! But most of all… the bath! I booked it mainly just for the bath because I competed in my first ever half marathon and thought I’d need an Epsom salt bath after and man was I grateful for this sweet little cottage. Kitchen had everything you needed, they picked me fresh fruit off the trees too on arrival. It was so clean, everything was perfect ! Thank you

Wonderful property off a main road with a huge orange orchard, cute pigs, and adorable chickens (who follow you around!). Loved that there was always a dog or guests roaming around, but it was still extremely quiet and laid back. Klaus, the proprietor, is a fantastic host who loves to chat while he goes about his day. 10/10 experience, can’t wait to come back!!

The place was full of peace and relaxation. Love the orchard, the friendly dogs, the funny pigs, and curious chickens on the property. Felt very private in our cottage too!
