Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
This is a beach front property. Sleep with the sounds of the waves. Elizabeth and Selwyn were wonderful hosts. Left having made new friends. The way the property is set up is fabulous. Will leave future guests to discover Awatuna Sunset Lodge. We loved our stay here!
It was an exceptional experience to stay one night in the lodge with a stunning view. The owners made everything to make the guests feel comfortable and welcoming, just like staying with friends. The complimentary sundowner and the beach ride on the amphibious car made our stay definitely one of the highlights of our 4-week trip in NZ.
Great stay! The lodge is located just off the CBD of Hokitika and a short walk to the beach. What was really nice is that due to a physical issue, I found it a challenge to carry our suitcases upstairs. I emailed the hosts and they promptly arranged for us to stay in a larger downstairs unit, at the same cost. (It just happened to be available for the nights we stayed.) Also, the firestation decor was a lot of fun. Kitchen was great and well equiped for out breakfast preparation.
Everything was amazing! Sue Ellen was an amazing host, everything was perfectly clean, the atmosphere is lovely, the breakfast was outstanding. Would definitely recommend to stay at Rimu Lodge, without any doubt!
We got what was expected for the price we paid, gamily of 7 in a lodge room. Was exactly how it would be in a marae.
Facilities were below us easy access.
The hotpools were amazing (highlight of the stay)
Everything! The lodge is huge and has a great hot tub, games room, dining area, terrace and massive private rooms. Sunset was beautiful on the terrace. Breakfast was a bonus.
