My friends and I are all extremely grateful of our stay at the Lodore Lodge as Louise showed us absolutely exceptional hospitality and service. Louise made us feel completely at home and went out of her way to assist us with our trip and whatever we had planned for the day. There were two occasions where Louise sat with us and researched the hikes we were planning to go on and provided information we would have missed otherwise and she also gave us one of her own picnic bags to take with us which is an extremely rare trait in your average air bnb host.The rooms were all spotlessly clean and comfortable making for a great stay. The breakfast that Louise cooked for us on each of the mornings we stayed can be described as restaurant tier meals that kept us going till the late afternoon. The spa and pool were great facilities to relax in after a long exhausting day. I never really write long detailed reviews but I feel as though for all the effort that Louise puts into her accomodation this is the very least we can do In return, all the little things such as her presentation of the rooms and her friendly demeanour does not go unnoticed and really does stay etched in your mind once your stay is over. I would recommend staying at the Lodore Lodge to anyone of any age but I would recommend booking locally through her website (https://www.lodorelodge.co.nz/). We all can’t wait to be back at the lodore lodge as there are so many more things we want to explore in the Northland of New Zealand
