아와로아 로지

We wanted a quiet and relaxing “gap” in our travel program and did we get that - YES! All from the boat voyage out to the Lodge through the return voyage we were meet with nice and personal service, charming living huts, fabulous food and wines - and - fantastic nature. We got two days and nights at this fabulous place which felt like much more - when we left we just said to ourselves - what an experience!

This place is a little gem - whole team were first rate. The room we had was well equipped and had fabulous views over the bush and the eel pond and very close to the restaurant and other hotel facilities as well within easy reach of the stunning beaches and walking tracks. The lodge has so many good features but with a few small easily sorted thing which stopped it getting a 10 out of 10. Rooms could have been better presented - with only a couple of weeks into the summer season - one would expect the rooms to have been freshened up over the winter - an hour with a screwdriver and a paint brush and some good "spray and walk away" and it would present so much better. Tea, Coffee and sugar (my partner likes a cup of tea after being out and about) was not refilled each day and biscuits on arrival did not appear on subsequent days. The real issue I had was - we were on a Dinner Bed & Breakfast package and for example - during meals we found it embarrassing and I am sure the staff felt the same - having to say within earshot of all the other dinners - "as we were on a package I was not allowed a certain fruit juice for breakfast as it was extra" - I do not drink tea or coffee so do like a nice fruit juice at breakfast - but did not want the world to know it was going to cost me extra!! - there has to be a better way !!!
