We had a great stay. Sky was not working but the owner fixed that - though only in the main lounge. The other tvs in the bedrooms did not work. We were most annoyed about the dryer not working and it was a known problem before we arrived, so should have been repaired ahead of time. Other minor things: the pot lids did not fit the pots so we ended up using plates - probably expect better in a house of such quality. Would also have been good if there were a couple of platters on which to serve up snacks etc. But apart from these, we would highly recommend Waitangi River Lodge.
