Leanne was welcoming and friendly and greeted us on arrival as well as farewelled us on leaving. The lodge is located in an area of the country that is known for its beautiful beaches and coves that are untouched and unmatched (obviously I'm biased because I also grew up in this part of New Zealand!). The loft where we stayed is one of two above the main lounge area and have views of the beach including sunrise. At night we made a fire in the fireplace that never failed to bring a little bit of the sun indoors and the room and our stay there so cosy. The bathrooms including compost toilets were clean and comfortable; the kitchen well equipped and the lodge itself had a nice flow to it with easy access to outdoor spaces and bbq area. The property had other structures as well with an eye towards sustainable living that any discerning visitor will appreciate. Thank you Leanne!
