Michael's lodge is a perfect, eco friendly place close to Tokuerau Beach. Complete, comfortable and clean. with a beautiful starry night as the area is really dark and quiet. Good bed, good bathroom, outdoor sitting and a simple kitchenette. What took me by surprise and did not like is that you have to take along your own garbage. as I am not local in new zealand, coming from the Netherlands, I really had a problem to get rid of it, not wanting to dump it. this should be in the advertisement. Therefore I am reluctant with my review.
