We booked Tiikana Lodge hoping for a quiet, private, quality retreat, and that is exactly what we got. This lodge is a special little piece of paradise. From the heavenly open plan bathroom to the breakfast provisions that were thoughtfully provided (including a couple of homemade treats) every part of our stay was enjoyed with relish. Donna, your kitchen skills left us imagining about how enjoyable it might be to dine at your Christmas dinner table!! Tikana is a serious contender for one of New Zealand loveliest places to stay. If you are looking for a second honeymoon type of escape....look no further. After a brief yet friendly handover from Donna on arrival, we were left to our own devices knowing that our amazing hosts were just a phone call away if anything was required. Thank you so much. Ka Ki Te Ano.
