The lodge was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Julia was a pleasure to deal with and always responded very quickly. The Karamea area was well worth the drive, a real hidden gem. We explored the Oparara Basin and walked to Scott's Beach on the first part of the Heaphy Track which was stunning. We loved the outdoor bath and can recommend dinner at The Last Resort. West Coast sunsets were pretty amazing too. A very enjoyable weekend overall, thank you.
