Ngakaroa Reserve

I loved this hotel. Honestly, this is now one of my top 5 hotels to stay. The hotel and room were esthetically beautiful. The staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I loved the sustainability focus. It was in a great location and I had a beautiful view. I will definitely be back.

We have stayed many incredible and beautiful places all over the world. Te Karaka Lodge is completely in a class by itself! Everything and everyone in this place is superb. There is not one little detail which is not lovingly cared for by the staff. It is a gorgeous place in gorgeous surroundings. There were 4 of us and we were very sad not to be able to book a second night. Dinner was indescribable. Every presentation rivaled a masterpiece painting. We have many pictures of both dinner and breakfast the following morning! An exquisite and memorable place which we loved and appreciated to the fullest.

We have used this hotel many times and it is always 5 star Unfortunately the price is now “up there” and it has to be a treat Highly recommended on all scores
