We spent two nights at Stranded in Paradise Ecolodge on our four night trip around the east cape just prior to Christmas. It was our only two night stop and when we got to Tokomaru Bay and saw where we were staying we were so stoked that we had chosen to have two nights there.
As a couple, we were fortunate to have the place to ourselves, though it can accommodate a large number of people, and it would be a great place to stay for a long weekend or more with a group of friends or family. A real bonus was being able to bring our dog, and he loved it as much as we did - it had a large deck area where we could enjoy a view of the ocean.
The house itself is rustic and interesting, with lots of cool aspects like loft areas that provide extra sleeping quarters, and a great collection of books, CD’s - really homely, even a real Christmas tree! Everything was spotlessly clean, and the kitchen very well equipped for self-catering, including a teapot (nice one Leanne!).
Would highly recommend 👍
