Great place - need transport to get into Whitianga - self drive is best Take advantage of the 2 day Ultimate Breakaway option which includes a visit to Mercury Winery and also a boat trip to Cathedral Cove. Amazing fun! Lovely owners who can't do enough for you.

It is located close to the beach in a very quiet & pleasant setting. We got it for a good price but our room itself was quite small. We traveled with a baby..so we needed more room for him to play. The room had a fridge, cups & plates. But we thought it was a bit odd to not have... More

this is our 3rd stay at this place, it's very well maintained and comfortable, It is run by a lovely and characteristic couple who really make the stay there charming and very "KIWI" cultured.

We had plenty of room here with our family of four. Outdoor area for kids to run around. Well stocked kitchen very handy for families. Beds very comfortable & plenty of beds for kids to choose. Very neat & clean.

Very friendly and helpful hosts. Rooms and amenities very clean. Nice communal feel in the evenings if staying in the studio rooms and relaxing in the guest lounge area which is spacious. Met some really nice people. Overall a nice place to stay. :)

The Symes, owners of the Aotearoa Lodge were pleasant and made you feel so welcome. Our room was large with a large deck attached. I love flowers anyway so... More

When we arrived in Whitianga we stopped at I site to get directions to this place, just as well we didn't go with my friends idea of randomly driving the streets until we found it else we could've been searching a while. It is not in the central part of town but this makes it perfect if you want a... More

My wife and I spent our first night in New Zealand at Aotearoa Lodge after flying into Auckland earlier that day from Toronto. I'm glad to say that we weren't disappointed with the accommodation. The facilities were extremely clean and well maintained. The room was a little tight for two people with baggage - it's too bad the bathroom wasn't... More
