“fabulous views, beach, and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I wanted somewhere to relax for one night at the end of a business trip and this was utterly perfect. There was a very warm and helpful welcome, it was just 5mins walk down a steep hill to a gorgeous beach, and only 15 mins walk from the little town and 40 from the ferry. There are maps of the stunning walks you can do from the house. You can even walk to some of the gourmet vineyard restaurants along glorious beach and country paths. What more could you want?

On the down side, the room was quite small and didnt have a basin or bathroom, but this was made very clear when I booked it.
Thank you Tawa lodge for such a lovely stay on Waiheke!

“Aroma Del Mare Cottage was great - awesome views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2009

Quiet spot, the cottage seemed more interesting than the motel rooms on site - we had great views of the bay, short walk to town. Perfectly adequate continental breakfast was delivered to our room the day before. We also enjoyed a special appetizer and chanpagne welcoming package, a nice start.

“romantic getaway yeah right”

people found this review helpful

Stayed in the Honey moon suite was told it was very private secluded cottage and that they had a spa pool unfortunately the spa pool is at another lodge about 1.5 km from this one the cottage had people on three sides with anyone walking down the drive looking straight into the unit
The neighbours behind had decided to have a few drinks so there was very little peace and quite
the lodge accommodation looked great but as for the cottage sorry but i would look else where
$550 for two night is way to high for this style of accommodation
Good veiws but not vaule for money at all

“Not what we were expecting”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2007
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed in the Studio Suite which is OK but not great (only water for example in bathroom vs kitchenette), no kitchen sink. Because its upstairs when someone is downstairs in the self contained apartment you can hear the TV, feel/hear them going up and down the stairs, hear talking, etc. That really lets the place down.
The hosts who are based at Punga Lodge which they also own are very helpful and staying at Punga Lodge will see you receive first rate hospitality. Unfortunately, the studio suite didn't meet our expectations on our stay and won't be returning to Tawa Lodge.

  • Liked — The view and the hospitality of the owners
  • Disliked — The noise
