Onekaka Vacation Rentals

"Clean and comfortable"

"Wonderful host. Pizza occasion was great. The cabin was comfortable, with good kitchen facilities. We could have stayed another week."

"The room was great. The staff very friendly"

"Out of all the places we stayed during our three weeks on the South Island, Ratanui Lodge provided the best service and hospitality. Firstly, the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much for them and the two ladies we dealt with went out of their way to give recommendations and ensure our stay was fantastic. We were on honeymoon and we were left a card and bottle of bubbly in the room which was a lovely touch, as was the robes and bottled water in the fridge. The breakfast is probably the best hotel breakfast you’ll ever get! A la carte options but I opted for the blueberry pancakes both days. The location is ideal, close to so many activities and in my opinion the right side of the Takaka Hill to make driving the area a much easier task (as opposed to basing yourself in Kaiteriteri). So many stunning walks and quiet beaches nearby. We loved Wainui Falls and Wharariki Beach. Sadly the weather didn’t allow for us to go Kayaking but I’m sure this would be a great activity to do. I really hope we can return from the UK one day and I would happily spend longer here! If we lived in NZ this could easily be a super week away. Absolutely amazing experience."

"Large room fun place to stay"

"We had the best experience at Awaroa Lodge Their exceptional hospitality, comfortable rooms, amazing food, and safe and secure environment were fantastic. The location is just a short 3 - 4 minute walk from Awaroa Beach. We will most definitely be returning. It was just lovely"

"Clean, good price, well organised. "

"This is a must if visiting the Area. Cabin and hosts were delightful and provide a wonderful wetland tour and Glow worm/ crayfish grotto experience. "
