Thanks for your kind words

Thanks for great feedback John. Glad you all enjoyed yourselves even in the midst of the bad weather. Great to see an attitude that gets among the fun regardless of weather.

Thanks

You are very welcome!!! Pleased you left relaxed & refreshed having enjoyed stepping back in time. Blessings.

Thanks for your honest review. You're totally correct about the driveway, the old-time feel etc. Many of our units were built in the 1960's and have been furnished with a retro styling. They are a loving reminder for many folk of a largely by-gone era where holidays were enjoyed in very simple dwellings nicknamed the "kiwi bach." Safe and enjoyable travels!

Thanks so much for your review. We're so pleased you spent time enjoying the many aspects of our property. Love to host you again!

Glad you enjoyed your stay and swimming in the river is certainly a treat.

Thanks so much for your kind and appreciative words! We're so pleased you and your parents were able to slow right down and enjoy the peace and sound of nature... it certainly does us good! Love to host you again!

Thank you for you great review! We are very pleased you enjoyed your time with us. You are correct, the Chalets are small and cozy, much like a Tiny House! Ideal for a couples.

We love the fact we have a true kiwi bach experience to offer our guests. Glad you could explore the area.

I am sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your stay. 10am checkouts and 2pm check-ins are standard for most accomodation providers. If you had checked with us we would have been able to arrange our cleaning to ensure you were able to check out later. Unfortunately we had just had a plumber in and had installed a booster pump into the cottage to improve the poor pressure that was in the shower. Thank you for highlighting the issue of the sudden change in temperature in the shower. After you left I immediately had the head removed and adjusted. We appreciate feedback and make changes where necessary. Unfortunately however some improvements - like the hot water booster - create new issues. We are constantly making improvements and have been since we took over 6 years ago. The one bedroom cottage you stayed in when we took over had a tiny bar fridge and a tiny oven with a single element stove top. It now has a full size fridge and oven, had the roof replaced, and new larger wooden table and chairs, had aspects of the ceiling replaced, had a new king single bed and had the kitchen faucet replaced. The price has increased $5 since we took over.

It was great to meet you and the kids and a pleasure to see you enjoying the property. thanks for staying with us.

Thanks for a great review. We thoroughly enjoy sharing the setting of Te Mata Lodge with our guests. This has been the first year since we have owned the property where slips have been an issue, the roading contractors do a great job at clearing the road quickly and reopening to travelers.
