A secluded gem, with various accommodation options. Hosts Grant & Annette are the epitomy of hospitality and would surely help you choose the best room option for you. We stayed in the French Cottage which was delightful, with kitchen, dining area and lounge, and ensuite with Spa bath. All tastefully decorated with full French doors out onto the private deck,...

This was real quality and an absolute little gem.. Setting just idyllic. It was awesome for the price and I "totally" recommend it. The host was also lovely and a proper gentleman. Bruce and... More

Advertised as luxury and it lived up to its word Although on the more expensive side of motel prices (although have paid more) this was well worth it. Great location - rural and no traffic noise but close enough to Waipu and Waipu Cove not to be a problem - lovely grounds meticulously maintained. We stayed in the garden cottage... More

Clean, well-run, and bright. Attractive small property with kayaks and hot tub. They have a rescue farm for animals. Make sure you kayak across the lagoon to the beach - beautiful and seems exclusive.

Thank you Grant and Annette for making our visit so memorable. The rooms, the view, the birds and the company could not be faulted. We so enjoyed being together in the Lodge - and was definitely a Home away from Home feel. You are both so lucky to have found such a beautiful piece of paradise, which we count ourselves... More

I would highly recommend staying at the waterfront french cottage at bream bay lodge. My boyfriend and I stayed there this past weekend for our 4 year anniversary and it was absolutely idyllic. The hosts Grant and Annette were fantastic, you could not ask for friendlier more welcoming hosts- I was a little skeptical after reading some of the earlier... More

Wow, what a hidden treasure this place is... I absolutely highly reccomend to all! We stayed here for only one short night to get out of the hustle and bustle of Auckland and we couldnt have picked a better place to stay. For starters, we were greeted by a couple of warm and welcoming smiles from Annette and Grant. They... More

We stayed in the french cottage and it was just lovely. Very elegantly decorated with nice linen and decor throughout. Grant gave us a lovely welcome and tour of the grounds. Kayaking was a highlight and we checked out the local bird life. The rescue animals on the property was a highlight for me being an animal lover and they... More
