The views were sensational and the apartment was fabulous! We were extremely lucky to get fresh baked bread the first morning and the second morning we got home made crossaints. Both mornings we had fresh fruit, yoghurt and condiments. Such an awesome place to end our Honeymoon and 3.5 week trip around New Zealand.

Surrounded by native landscapes, Bay of Islands Lodge offers free Wi-Fi and great views over the Bay of Islands. Guests have access to a large terrace with a heated plunge pool.

Each suite at Bay of Islands Lodge New Zealand has a private balcony with views of the sea and surrounding countryside.

The views are beautiful and the hosts are amazing. Glennis and Dave made us feel so welcome and helped us re-arrange our plans when they were a bit overly ambitious. The breakfasts were delicious and the place is nicely decorated, comfortable and just fantastic. We felt like family the second we drove down the driveway and were greeted as we pulled up. A truly wonderful stay.

    Excellent location close to beach and good value. The hostel/lodge has a nice feel about it and good sized kitchen. The place is generally clean, well looked after, and comfortable.

    The Junior Suite has a beautiful view from the lounge area. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well equipped. The room itself was very comfortable and a lovely surprise. Great facilities gym & outside laundry with ice machine. Very very close to the main part of Paihia and a perfect view of the bay. Perhaps change the name Autolodge to something else, gives the wrong impression, its better than a motel or autolodge.

    The staff were thoughtful enough to leave the window & door open with a fan going on a hot summer’s day. The bathroom was a good size for a lodge room, there was a tea & coffee station & even milk in the fridge. The spa was also lovely. The staff were friendly & the lady was very helpful explaining local activities based on our interests.

    The public areas are very nice, with a hot spa and hammocks. Great location within walking distance from the centre of Paihia, beach and short drive to Waitangi and Haruru Falls. Plenty of parking, either at the Lodge or on the street outside.

    My friends and were very happy with our stay at the Paihia lodge. My friend mentioned that the reality was a lot better than what she expected with cleanliness and comfort. The lodge offers a calm, respectful atmosphere and also accommodated bedding and a towel. Lovely place, staff and facilities. Thank you Andy and Lynne for a wonderful stay.

    Mum and I had a lovely stay at Martin and Eddy lodge. Amazing breakfast spread, easy to find, comfortable room, pool was amazing, and a lovely peaceful getaway in Paihia! Close to town, but far enough to just relax. Great value for money. I look forward to recommending Te Awa Lodge to friends and family and hopefully returning in the future!
