The room was clean and well-maintained, and the bed was very comfortable. It was a great option for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

The lodge provides guests with a terrace, river views, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchenette with a fridge and a minibar, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. A patio with garden views is offered in all units. Our stay at Te Awa was the perfect welcome to New Zealand. Our hosts provided a personal experience for us in the Bay of Islands. The setting couldn’t have been more spectacular on the banks of the river, and our room was very comfortable and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool each afternoon, following a day of exploring, and watched the moon rise each evening from the expansive deck. Breakfasts were delicious and prepared us for a day of activity. We appreciated every recommendation provided by Martin and Joelson. They definitely set the bar for the rest of our time in New Zealand. If you have the chance to stay here, we couldn’t recommend it more highly!
