The room was spacious clean and comfortable. Our unit felt a bit like a basement suite. The hotel is out of the main town area so you have to drive to restaurants. A quirky thing was charging $2 for a coffee pick. This was even though breakfast in your room was included.

The room which we enjoyed had a wonderful view, the amenities were thoughtful and convenient, and the large bathroom area offered great water pressure --- something we always love when traveling. Our host, Lauren, took the time to offer great suggestions and give us helpful information related to the area and New Zealand that made it easier for us to get settled and comfortable. Lauren also did a wonderful job providing fruit and keeping our space ready and clean. Many thanks to her. Overall, Tahi Lodge was a wonderful place to stay and we definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Laura greeted us upon arrival and helped us with a small load of laundry as the unit no longer has a washer/dryer. The unit was quite warm and had only one fan so my son’s bedroom was quite hot and muggy during the night. The breakfast provided was good- 4 assorted jams & honey, butter amd a loaf of bread, plus assorted cereals. The TV was quite small but fortunately was a Smart TV so we were able to access Netflix. Overall, I would highly recommend Tahi Lodge was the only caveat being the lack of a fan in the second bedroom.

Hi Thomas, We are sorry that we don't appear to have fully met your expectations which is contrary to most guests we have to stay. Our continental breakfast has a range of cereals - tailored to dietary requirements - wherever possible, a wide range of fresh seasonal fruit, a mix of yoghurts, a large bottle of fresh milk, a full mixed grain toast bread loaf with a mix of fresh toppings, a large bottle of quality orange juice, a wide range of teas/coffees (Filter/Instant and Nespresso). We note that most of the items above had been consumed to some extent.We monitor our pricing regularly within the Region and find that we are cost effective - especially for parties of 4 guests such as yours. We will review our listings and continue to do all possible to ensure we fully describe what we offer with the aim of meeting or exceeding our Guests' expectations. Our best wishes for the Holiday Season and New Year.Regards Lauren & Warren.
