Brilliant location for something a bit more relaxed and quiet with easy access to look over the Whale and Manu bays. I also did the Karioi summit walk which is 2.5 hrs one way from this end. Plenty of parking close to the lodge. The room temperature was good despite no AC because of the lovely, fresh sea breeze. Fridge in the room was really convenient. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was spacious with a great shower. I would definitely recommend.
