The rooms and view are fantastic. Location is lovely and far enough off the beaten track to feel separated and quiet. Opua is much quieter than Paihia and is a 20 min walk. Paihia is a lovely 90 min walk (but do avoid high tide for the last 2km into Paihia unless you’re happy to paddle!). We intentionally didn’t have a hire car and it suited us perfectly.

In very hot weather the lack of air conditioning makes it necessary to have everything open.

the property was set in an idyllic location. You couldn’t fault the location and even on a rainy day the view were exceptional

There was no privacy. We didn’t like being interrupted by the owner throughout our stay. It was unnerving. He came into our space no less than 6 times!! for no reason. He never knocked or announced his intention to come into our space, he just turned up. We felt like he was spying on us. He even creeped up the stairs at 9pm in his pyjamas I was on my own in the lounge and got a huge fright to see him standing there in the dark. He didn’t say anything just stood there. I don’t recommend this place.

The view was astounding.. even in the rain. The guest area was very comfortable and well equipped. The towels were huge and fluffy and the bed was so comfortable.

The bathroom needs significant updating, and I would expect a cooked breakfast to the per night rate. It's not great value for money. Didn't like sharing a large table at breakfast espeically as the other guests had come straight off a cruise ship. Covid is still real, and for those who are still cautious, being that close to others at breakfast isn't great. Feather pillows were lovely for me, but my sister is asthmatic, so a choice would have been good.

Wow. Amazing apartment with lovely views captured by nearly all windows in the apartment.

Nothing of importance. TV signal didn’t work but the host, Peter, organised a technician to visit on a Sunday to try and sort it out.

Location was great - fabulous 180deg inlet/sea views. Loved the fresh fruit for breakfast, pineapple, kiwifruit, banana, rhubarb etc., with yoghurt, all bran and toasted muesli. Peter did great poached eggs. There is a good nespresso machine that is available for use, and always fresh fruit any time of day. The lounge upstairs is beautiful with amazing views.

The place is magnificent. It has extensive sea views. It is elegant and sophisticated . We were very lucky to have the place for ourselves and enjoyed a nice time on the couches. The room is big and warm, the bed is very comfortable and the shower is very nice as well. Peter prepared a very nice breakfast which we enjoyed with a very nice view. We will definitely return!

Nothing

Its a beauty 🤗 here at the #CliffEdgeLodge would definitely recommend you go there and get some relaxation with a awesome view. Very tidy, fabulous old antique interior. Not far from Opua ferry to Russell and Paihia. Scrumptious breeky. Loved it ALL 🤗😊 Thank you Peter

magnificent view and comfortable living room

The property boasts some of the most stunning views of any hotel we have visited. There is a comfy, homely feel to the place. The host is an absolute gentleman and his dog is very friendly!

We felt really welcome in Peter’s home. The home is absolutely stunning and immaculate and the views are unparalleled. One of the coolest places we have ever stayed. Peter is a very interesting guy and looks just like Paul Newman. Wish we could have heard more stories from him as it sounds like he has had a very interesting life.
