Perfect holiday home for a big group

10 of us just spent a wonderful 8 days staying at the House. There were 6 adults and 4 kids. Spacious and comfortable. Amazing view. Great amenities and facilities. Excellent location. Sally was very responsive and helpful. The internet was not working while we were there which was a mild inconvenience for those here from overseas but it did not put a dampener on the holiday at all. For some it was a relief :) Highly recommend this spot for families and groups.

Lovely Tutukaka

Thank you for the use of your property. It was everything we hoped it would be. The property offers plenty of space for large groups & although the weather didn't play ball at times we never felt cramped. The kitchen had everything we needed for entertaining & the house was very clean, even a fish filleting area. Beautiful views & loads of parking.

Brilliant base for exploring Whangarei and Tutukaka. I loved the ECG books and CCDHB PML. The children loved the book selection. Very comfortable and spacious.

Lovely view, big house, nice deck

Great place to go if you have a big crew. Driveway a bit challenging if you have a big trailer boat. Didn't realise there was a fish filleting bench around the back until we spotted it when leaving. Only negative is that there is a CCTV camera on the deck which we weren't told about and was a bit weird. Other than that great place to base yourself in Tutukaka

5-star accommodation at the gate to the Poor Knights Marine reserve

We loved staying at the Tutukaka Lodge! We particularly enjoyed the spectacular views, and how spacious and clean the lodge was. The house is very close to Tutukaka, which was handy for a Poor Knights marine reserve day trip.

Spacious property with amazing view

Exactly what we needed for a big family get away. Love the space and the view. It had everything we needed and was clean and tidy with plenty of things to keep the kids occupied from early hours. The location is just great and so close to everything and we didn’t need to drive far at all to nearby tracks and beaches. Would definitely go again, fully recommend it!!
