Hotel a Waikaretu

“The managers Aaron and Danny are amazing, professional, yet very friendly. They made sure all our needs were met but allowing us the privacy to enjoy the peace and beauty of the Te Karaka lodge surroundings. Our meals, prepared by the master chef, Franz were as good as we have experienced in any restaurant . Only the finest ingredients selected by him. Presented beautifully with attention to detail and creating wonderfully unique taste combinations. We cannot recommend Te Karaka Lodge highly...

“When we arrived, our room had been damaged by a rock hitting the window and therefore were moved to a safer room immediately. When we were settled, the view was amazing, and all we wanted to do was spend time watching the ocean. If you are to stay here and watch the sunset, grab some cheese and a bottle of wine- nothing was more perfect. Everything about this place was perfect. Clean, friendly staff, delicious food, and great location. ”

“Great staff, great room, clean, super spot”

“Awesome stay and friendly host.”

“One of the best we have stayed Clean, easy and really close to town while still completely private Will definitely stay again ”

“Friendly staff!”

“The staff are really friendly, informative and nice. A small team who created a community feel. The Superior Cabin had nice clean sheets and pillows on arrival including an immaculate fridge and room. The humid days made for very warm rooms during the day and night. ”

“Great value for money and lovely views over the river”

“The area was awesome ”
