The perfect end to a wonderful vacation! The room, view, and Margaret were just what we needed after two weeks traveling around New Zealand. Margaret was a great host who made us feel very comfortable. She gave us ideas of where to go, what to see and where to eat in nearby towns/communities. Her knowledge of the area was a great help in seeing all the sights we could during our stay. Coming back to our rooms each night to relax on our private deck was delightful. The view was spectacular and the sound of the waves on the beach was soothing. The on-site laundry facility was important to us. We would definitely stay again!

What a wonderful stay! The apartments were beautiful, tastefully furnished and very clean. It was an incredible place to relax and unwind, the beach is beautiful for walks and lovely for swimming. Margaret was such an amazing host, we felt welcomed from the minute we arrived and didn't want to leave. I would say this is one of the top places I have ever stayed, I hope we will be back soon!

It was so good and Margaret so wonderful (she admitted to being drunk on our arrival), that if too many people go there it will be too busy for us to go back. My wife christened it 'paradise' and that was before Margaret knocked on our door with a plate of smoked local fish.

Stunning!!!

What a beautiful place to put your bags down for a day, a week, a month! This is our 6th visit and we keep coming back to Beach Lodge. Margaret is a fabulous host and has thought of absolutely everything. The fully contained suites are serviced daily so everything is kept beautifully clean - the condition of our suite has hardly changed since our first visit in 1996 which says a lot about the people who stay here and the hard work that goes into keeping Beach Lodge looking like it had just opened for business! Whatever it is you're looking for, Margaret will point you in the right direction - a nice restaurant, a cafe or the best road trips around the area. If you want to "do your own thing" and stay in, all the facilities are here, right down to a BBQ which you can fire up on the deck and enjoy the stunning views over Doubtless Bay. The sunrises and sunsets are unbelievable in this part of the world! What more can we say - this place lives up to its name - "Paradise" and Margaret's that truly special person behind it all!

Room tip: Unit 4 for the open uninterrupted views, Sunset Suite for a bit more privacy, Unit 2 for the lovely pohutakawa trees right outside.

Thanks to Margaret for making our vacation at The Beach Lodge perfect! She has everything figured out for her guests.
She introduced us to our accommodations with a map of things to do in the area, plus we had beach towels, lots of tea and coffee available to make each morning (and fresh milk) Boogie boards were available plus Margaret offered us ice packs and a cooler for our road trips and lunches we would be taking. From the main road you do not realize the beautiful view that you are about to see ....but when the front door is opened you see the view and hear the waves! Absolutely wonderful! This is our best accommodation in New Zealand. We could not believe our good fortune! And I will be telling all of my friends. I asked Margaret why more people were not commenting on Trip Advisor and she said she had not even been on. So just because there are not many reviews recently, do not let that deter you. This is on an amazing beach with all of the comforts of home. I wish I Iived in New Zealand, if I did I would be back at least once a year!

Thanks Margaret for an amazing stay!

Room tip: They are all good!
