Highly recommend staying here. It’s the coolest little lodge and has been made to the highest standard by the owner, all wooden and it feels very earthly. Has amazing scenery and it’s the perfect place to wake up in. Barely a five minute walk down to a private little beach and you can carry on around the rocks when the tide is low and go rockpool exploring and all sorts. Also five minutes from all the cafes and restaurants in orewa which they have a little guide on, in the lodge, which is very helpful. Perfect place for a getaway from the city (or wherever you’re coming from). Go check it out you won’t be disappointed!
