"Lives up to its name!"

"This was a great little 1950's cottage in a quiet part of town. It was adequate for our needs."

"Fabulous location with great views. Warm house with plenty of room. Great outdoor area. Loved our time here."

"Property great"

"We loved the views from this quintessential NZ bach and the lovely walks in the surrounding area. It was well equipped and the beds and top quality sheets were appreciated. "

"Great place. Amazing view. Very private. Close to beach and town. Beds could be a little better quality but we would stay again."

"Amazing house in an idyllic setting, with everything you need for a great holiday"

"A thoroughly wonderful spot - clean, modern, spacious, comfortable, peaceful, very well appointed inside and out. All communication is very prompt, helpful, thoughtful and clear. It's clear that a great deal of thought and consideration has gone into every aspect of hosting at Totara Lodge. My only regret is that we could only book for 2 nights! Thank you very much :)"

"Vielen Dank für Ihre Gastfreundlichkeit."

"The house was exactly the size we needed, and it was a bonus that it was set up to accommodate pets. It was a wet and cold weekend. It took a lot to heat the house up and we did this by bringing in extra heaters from the sleep out. The rooms were clean and well set up. A few more, thicker blankets or duvets would have been nice. We were able to link into the TV system and run our accounts through it, which we were grateful for with all the wet weather. Overall we had a wonderful stay. Thank you...

"Very clean and tidy. A great stay. Very relaxing. Very reasonably priced. Everything there for cooking. Washing machine and dryer as well."
