"The property worked well for a large group, with plenty of space and a pleasant rural outlook. The linen and towels were of a good standard, and communication through Bookabach was easy and responsive.There were a few aspects that could be improved. Water pressure and temperature were inconsistent at times, and the kitchen was not particularly well stocked with basic staples, which was surprising given the size of the kitchen and the number of guests the property can accommodate.Overall, the...

Top Waitakaruru Hotel Reviews

Pedlars Motel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a one night stay to visit friends. Very comfortable and loved the shower."

Newly built self-contained auxiliary unit in awesome Thornton Bay

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful clean open place to stay. I found the hosts great communicators and therefore I felt most welcome. I was invited to walk their garden and make myself at home. They were not home during my stay, but I did not find this an issue as they always available online. All instructions for check in and out were clear and concise. I will definitely stay again and recommend the place to others looking for a cosy, warm quiet and private place to stay. The kitchen was well equipped and there were coffee and tea items available in the pantry. I was also greeted with a complimentary bar of chocolate and fresh oranges from their own garden -a nice touch. In my opinion, I think this lovely one bedroom place is more for a single person or couple, given the layout and available space. The couch does open to a bed if required perhaps for another person or child. Highly recommend. It’s proximity was perfect-being 7-10 minutes to Thames township, and a few minutes to a lovely beach below."

Tavaita Cottage – Creative, Quirky Cabin Retreat Near the Hauraki Rail Trail

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a lovely stay. My family and I booked the place for a night but when we arrived and saw how beautiful it was, we had to extend for another night. They have an amazing collection of games and books to keep you occupied. And their music taste is amazing! It was calm, peaceful, and infinitely cozy. The hosts are wonderful and kind and generous. The location is beautiful and near the Karangahake gorge."

Te Aputa Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I had a fantastic stay at Te Aputa Lodge. It is truly a great property that offers a peaceful and comfortable getaway. Waking up to the nice sea view was a major highlight of the trip. Additionally, the entire place is perfectly well maintained, from the spotless rooms to the surrounding grounds. I would absolutely stay here again."
