Tui Lodge is a spacious rumpus/basement apartment, with terrace overlooking the chicken run. The chicks are cute and friendly, and can also a bit chatty and smelly at times. Paul was friendly and gave us some veggies from his vegetable garden. Bathroom was clean and modern. Cooking facilities are reasonable (electrical frying pan + single plate induction cook top for a pot). The location is a great base to explore the Hibiscus coast and Orewa beach (15 min by car).
