Apartments in Pakawau

"Clean and comfortable"

"Great communications with the host. Have stayed several times and will continue to return"

"The room was great. The staff very friendly"

"Out of all the places we stayed during our three weeks on the South Island, Ratanui Lodge provided the best service and hospitality. Firstly, the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much for them and the two ladies we dealt with went out of their way to give recommendations and ensure our stay was fantastic. We were on honeymoon and we were left a card and bottle of bubbly in the room which was a lovely touch, as was the robes and bottled water in the fridge. The breakfast is probably the best hotel breakfast you’ll ever get! A la carte options but I opted for the blueberry pancakes both days. The location is ideal, close to so many activities and in my opinion the right side of the Takaka Hill to make driving the area a much easier task (as opposed to basing yourself in Kaiteriteri). So many stunning walks and quiet beaches nearby. We loved Wainui Falls and Wharariki Beach. Sadly the weather didn’t allow for us to go Kayaking but I’m sure this would be a great activity to do. I really hope we can return from the UK one day and I would happily spend longer here! If we lived in NZ this could easily be a super week away. Absolutely amazing experience."

"Overall, very good thanks. We really enjoyed the king size bed and the sound of the waves as we lay in bed. The fire was also nice to be able to relax in front of. We enjoyed the fact that been so close to the beach, the kids could come and go as they pleased. "

"We had a great time at “The Bach”, what a spot! Location was awesome, a real kiwi bach. Had everything we needed - lots of cutlery, platters & salad bowls for all the BBQs we had. Comfy beds, and the place was clean & tidy. Would love to stay again sometime - thanks guys! "

"Fabulous location and amazing bach. It is a perfect configuration for two families. It was so well equipped with beautiful linen, appliances and great toys for the kids. The living area is spacious and light and has great indoor/outdoor flow. The outdoor shower was great for the kids coming off the beach. The host was very responsive and so generous to offer kayaks, fishing rods etc. Such a special place, I cannot recommend it highly enough. We will be back."

"The property was very clean and had all of the amenity's and more.The views are amazing with a lovely beach as well.Thank you and we will return again."

"We had a wonderful family time at the Library Batch. It's a peaceful, cozy and special place. It's very well equipped and tidy. It's welcoming with a heart and soul. Surrounded by a beautiful nature and arts! We'll be back! "
