We ended up at the gumboot lodge because of a change of plans, but if we had known what a gem it is, we would have booked it long before!!! We got an amazing host, who does her job with all her heart and goes above and beyond!!! We were spoiled with an awsome dinner, worth more than 5 stars and the, as far as I know, best breakfast in all of New Zealand!! The Lodge contains all and more than you probably need and is very cosy and lovely made!!! You truly need to stay there!!!
