Bed and Breakfast in Makarora

"Wonderful Makarora Lodge - how can it be called wonderful? Do not stay here! Arrived April 27, 2028 approx 5:30 pm for a one night stay. Staff gone, picked up the two folded papers w/keys from reception area showing # of two chalets. Nothing has been done to the inside of the chalets for many many years. Mold on wood in room as you open the door on the right bottom wall. Very dirty stained carpet inside entrance, Only 1/8 - 1/4 inch of the roll of toilet paper in bathroom. Soap dispenser in shower was empty. Bathroom sink did not have a stopper so difficult to wash face or hands; you either had to use cold water or hot water (which of course would burn you). Took ~12 photos of interior. Some windows were left a little open when I arrived to chalet. Thank you, FFW"

"Beautiful campsite, kitchen utensils are in bad conditions and the staff should have told us about renting some better ones. Room is spacious and comfortable."

"Beautiful house overlooking the lake from the kitchen window! We loved our stay here - being able to walk to the lake was magic. "

"Great location for exploring the region. Lake frontage just minutes away. Handy to have the local pub and cafe so close. Outdoor setting at the rear was sunny and private."

"Great location! Cafe, supermarket and tavern in walking distance and handy to so many wonderful sights and activities. The house was lovely and warm and suited our large group perfectly. And that view!!"

"Not truly lakefront but a very short walk. Comfortable and cosy, everything worked, nice touches (tea station, fresh flowers) and the area is STUNNING"

"Extremely welcoming. Amazing place with a lot of history and a stunning location."

"A beautifully-appointed flat with an extremely comfortable living room, bedroom and kitchen. The doors open to a deck and a lovely garden, with mountains in the background. "

"We enjoyed our 5 day stay in this cute, cozy bach! We had everything we needed for cooking, the bedding was very comfortable and we all slept well here. Beautiful scenery can be viewed right outside every window. The hosts were responsive, although we had no issues come up. We even had a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers on arrival. The lavender and honeysuckle bushes lining the entrance were an added fragrant treat. "
