Restaurant on site did REALLY nice meals, plenty of food, good selection, good price and so easy being right there too. Comfortable rooms, VERY CLEAN, great staff, nothing too much of a problem. Very highly recommended.
Lack of initial hot water sometimes needs bringing to their attention. This second stay was a little better but still not quite hot enough until staff sorted it (different room this time) Noisy group of younger men (? sports team or similar) waking me two mornings, walking past talking loudly, having fun and laughing - but very minor "problem"

The location, centrality and ease of access
After our first night I asked for housekeeping nit to make up our room. This was agreed to by the housekeeper. We had made the beds, done the dishes and exchanged used towels for clean ones and got a few extra hot chocolates. Unfortunately when we got back from our days outings the room had been made over, personal items had been moved and the extra hot chocolates had been removed. My mother only drinks hot chocolate so that was extremely disappointing.

I liked how clean and open our rooms were, and how accessible it was to the beach and town. Having the train track right behind us was was also a great treat for my son. was great. the bathroom was roomy and the water temp and pressure were just right
the one thing i didn't like was having to fill the jug from bathroom sink, people not parking thinking about others and just randomly parking. would have been nice to have the on site restaurant open,

Bed was comfy and ensuite bathroom was great and mobility friendly (no step up into the shower). Excellent water pressure in the shower. Loads of available parking. Location just a block from the beach and close to town.
Lack of places to put bags so they had to stay on the floor - no real bench to put things on. No real kitchenette. Extreme road noise - must be on the main route to the port for trucks, which seemed to run most of the night.

Location was reasonably close to the city. Room was clean and bed comfy. Good bathroom. Staff great.
Fridge was faulty. Froze everything that you put in there. The control on the fridge was faulty. Could not be controlled. Basically where all the trucks drivers stay Over night which is fine. Surprisingly there was very little noise in the early morning but still the odd truck that woke us up very early.

Nice clean room with parking right outside the door. There is an onsite restaurant that serves simple well priced food. The TV in the room was great and we ended the day enjoying a move from the free SKY TV in bed.
The property has security lighting around the rooms walkways which is in all night, this floods the room with light which is not ideal. I suggest ether better curtains to black out the light or turn the lights off at 10:00 pm.

Everything was clean and tidy
The queen bed was rock hard, so I slept in the single bed, which is fine. No milk in the fridge when I arrived had to go out and buy milk so I could have a hot drink and sit down and relax after my long drive. I figured the lodge mustn't supply milk. Tuesday there was milk in the fridge. Would be great service in future to arrive.

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Amazingly close to Waikanae beach - faster to walk than to drive - and I walked there 3x in one day just to sit and take in the view!
The restaurant was not open, due to a family bereavement, so I had to drive to find dinner. However, family bereavements can happen to anyone anytime so this was out of the ordinary.

We were put next to a very noisy party that went quite late, turns out it was the staff xmas party! The next day a lovely staff member apologised and said we should not have been given that particular room on that night! She later gave us a bottle of wine, which was a nice thought, but it would have been better it someone had thought to keep that room free so noone had to lose sleep or feel bad for enjoying themselves the night before!
