Not too far from Auckland airport which made it an ideal place for us to recover from a long flight ##### Robin Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Oct 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Only stayed one night, wish it could have been longer. Welcoming hospitality, comfortable clean room, everything we needed for a short stay, beautifully kept gardens and the most glorious view. Would love to return. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Willem Jan 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### More than perfect I try to look for one word to describe Casa Te Puru Lodge, but I can’t choose, so here are our thoughts: - Marvellous - Very Clean - Very friendly - Stunning Flowers - Lovely Birds It was PERFECT! ##### Willem Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sebastian Mar 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice, neat and tidy room. ##### Sebastian Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Glynnis Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service The view was lovely as was the setting other than that there is little to recommend this place. Access would be very difficult for many as the drive was phenominally steep and would make walking out impossible for most. The room was small as was the bathroom tucked away at the back of the bedroom, adequate for a one night stop but not a lengthy stay. Check in was not welcoming (at 5pm which was hardly late) infact it was most off putting as we had to ring the front door bell and wait a while to be be greeted with "Oh I'd forgotton you were coming. You are the ones who booked on line' We were.neither informed of a breakfast nor dinner option at La Casa for our two night stay and when we enquired where we could eat we were told eating options were a 10 km drive away into Thames with no recommendations. We did actually find breakfast the next morning at a wonderful cafe 2km away. Waikamu Beach Cafe. This was our first time in the Coramandel peninsula and Im sure we will return but not to La Casa Im afraid. ##### Glynnis Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Steep driveway Beautiful grounds, worth a stroll. Challenging driveway. My check engine light came on so I am losing a day at the mechanic. It is very steep, your car will probably be fine, mine is very old. Twin room has one window which is at the entrance of another room so choose between privacy and natural light. Had issues with mosquitos, light switch near only one bed which doesn't have a nightstand. Overall beautiful property with a challenging room (twin), the other rooms seem better. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Rex Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ho-Chi-Minh-City-Hotels-Rex-Hotel.h481670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bangor](https://www.expedia.ca/Bangor-Hotels.d6050918.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Cabins.d10578-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Kimpton Blythswood Hotel & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Kimpton-Blythswood-Square-Hotel.h2705235.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels.d1312.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kuta](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuta-Hotels.d8956.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Inverness](https://www.expedia.ca/Inverness-Hotels.d1607.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Pasay](https://www.expedia.ca/Pasay-Hotels.d9737.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Aluva (COK) to Regina (YQR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cok/yqr/cochin-to-regina) > > [Flights from St. Pierre (FSP) to Paris (PAR-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fsp/par/st-pierre-to-paris) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yhz/vancouver-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Portland (PDX) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pdx/sfo/portland-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ywg/calgary-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from SeaTac (SEA) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/edi/seattle-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyc/vancouver-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/31/flights-from-canada) > > [Turkish Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Turkish-Airlines-Flights.cTK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Acapulco (ACA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/aca/montreal-to-acapulco) ### Activities ### Packages > [Flying Mile Ski Lift](https://www.expedia.ca/Flying-Mile-Ski-Lift-Mont-Tremblant-Pedestrian-Village.d6155013.Vacation-Attraction) > > [WildPlay Element Parks Maple Ridge](https://www.expedia.ca/WildPlay-Element-Parks-Maple-Ridge-Maple-Ridge.d553248621532863998.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Pacific Rim National Park Reserve](https://www.expedia.ca/Pacific-Rim-National-Park-Reserve-British-Columbia.d6089611.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Hatley Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Hatley-Castle-Victoria.d6072319.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides)
