What's nearby

  • If you walk along the Buffalo Beach (near to the corner by the wharf) after the tide has gone out, you will be treated to seeing hundreds of little starfish. We wandered down the almost deserted beach as the sun set over the hills, finding whole shells and the little stars - it was magical.

Overall nice stay

Nice lodge/motel, a little bit away from the city center. Quiet and peaceful. Owner/manager was VERY friendly and helpful. Room was serviced/cleaned each day with fresh towels and tea, etc. which was much appreciated. Future guests should know that the shared kitchen is not much of a kitchen; there is no oven and no proper stove (only a hot plate). This was not an issue for us, but it might be for others who are expecting to cook their meals. Overall a very nice stay and I would recommend the Aotearoa Lodge to others.

Motel ohne Frühstück

Einfaches Motel etwas abseits vom Hauptort. Hilfsbereite Eigentümer. Trotz Angabe in der Beschreibung kein Frühstück zubuchbar. Schönes Zimmer. Wir waren die einzigen Gäste. Bei der Abreise ( Sonntag, 07:15 Uhr) war die Rezeption nicht besetzt. Wir haben den Schlüssel dann im Zimmer gelassen
