Karikari Lodge

類似民宿的感覺，非常温馨。客棧的老闆Paul非常熱情。由於不是傳統酒店，不設前台，所以需要提前1天確認抵達時間。 抵達過程很順暢，客棧很好找。每個房間的早餐都在冰箱裏有編號。 住在這裏非常舒服，Paul還貼心的幫忙點起了火爐。很適合住幾天深度探尋Karikari Peninsula和可口可樂湖！

This was a fantastic stay, I only wish I could have stayed longer! Room was incredibly comfortable, the whole property was very clean and tidy, but also had a warm and welcoming feel to it. The hosts were friendly and had thought of everything guests might need! They were also helpful, with good recommendations on things to do, places to get food, etc. Breakfast was excellent, with a selection of cereals, toast, butter, homemade jams, yoghurt and fruit, as well as tea and coffee! Overall definitely a 10/10!

What a sweet place to stay, more comfortable than most people's home...I wish I had booked for longer! A brilliant kitchen well supplied with everything you'd need. My only suggestion would be instructions for the coffee grinder and stylish barista style coffee maker.. I was a bit scared to use it! I was grateful to get a wee message from the owners before I arrived telling me what was available in the area eg food and shopping

The space was as advertised, with responsive hosts and a warm cozy room with shared areas. I was the only guest (at the very slowest part of the low season), so I can't comment on that. However, the kitchen was very well kitted out and there were lots of sitting and lounging spaces.

We spent a blissful few days enjoying the stellar private view from the Pohutukawa cabin (see photo), which had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Bonus: we enjoyed watching the neighbour's cows cruise by for a visit while the sun set on the spa pool! The shower was excellent, too. Maitai Bay, only a short drive away, was our favorite beach during our entire 3 weeks in NZ. In the other direction, the shops in nearby Mangonui had yummy fish and chips and ice cream - though we didn't need to leave the Karikari Lodge to be well fed. Katalina was so generous feeding us local seafood feasts. On our final day, even with Cyclone Gabrielle looming in the forecast, Paul and Katalina toured us down the length of Tokerau Beach -- including digging for tuatua! Quite fun once we got the hang of it. I hope we can return on our next trip to NZ. Big thanks to Paul and Katalina for welcoming us so kindly!

Thank you Paul & Katalina ! Our trip up North was Amazing my Husband and I loved the whole experience! Our stay with you was the cherry on top, we were treated like family the hospitality was Amazing ! Very knowledgeable about the surrounding area and fishing spots ( the only thing my Husband was concerned about lol.) We were very well looked after was even fed Hapuka fish n chips and given smoked fish to take Home (maybe I should have kept that secret 😋) Spent time relaxing after a big day in the Spa pool ! Accommodation was nice and Cozy loved the island theme made it feel tropical ! We will be booking again if we ever do another trip up north ! Highly Recommend staying Here! - Kahu & Eli
