"Very large, comfortable room with all facilities. Very high standards of cleanliness and room maintenance. Friendly staff and a good restaurant/cafe serving pub grub type food. Excellent value for money."

"The lodge is located in a very remote location, despite of getting groceries are so inconvenient, Blake showed great generosity and hospitality to all the guests, make us feel like staying in an old friend's house. Kitchen, bathroom, and bed linen are of 5-stars clean. If you're planning to go on the Hump Ridge Track, choose Rarakau Lodge for your pre-departure accommodation is definitely the best option. "

"Beautiful escape from the city. Friendly host, cozy farmland setting, and kitchen cookware provided. Would definitely stay here again."

"Only one house in front of us and the beach, and we could see and hear the sea.Great to be pet friendly too."

"Perfect location for our needs.We did get some unexpected visitors a couple of hours after our arrival. Our vehicle had gone to the beach but my daughter and I were still at the house so these visitors abruptly left again when they realised that there was someone at the property."

"This is a beautiful house with huge windows everywhere and front and back 2nd floor porches. It was very well equipped with appliances and had enough plates, bowls etc for a decent crowd. It's also very close to the beach. Although then-current photos didn't show an oven or stovetop, the house does have them, which made cooking there easy."

"Such a beautiful home in a magical spot, modern but comfortable and cozy, so many interesting places nearby especially Gemstone Beach and Howell’s Point Reserve, and Riverton is really charming, we loved our stay"
