Our second time at this lodge. The room, hosts, cleaners, were all, excuse the accent, FENTISTIC! We just loved the heated floor tiles and heated towel rack, comfy bed, gorgeous kitchen, and relaxing double spa bath! Pillows for me were just a little too soft...but definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious holiday experience!!!

I had a one night stay and was impressed by the loveliness of the staff, the comfort of the room and the deliciousness and service of the Wahi staff. I was blessed to have a beautiful, sunny winter weekend and the way the room was set up made the most of the view. Effortless stay. Thank you.

Well priced and so well presented. I’ve never seen a shower so clean it was like a mirror. The staff were lovely and I liked the way the owner showed us to our room and did a final check to make sure it was perfect! Would highly recommend

Property is right in middle of city centre and easy walking distance to everyone. Car parking is available but $15 per night, which is a bit over the top.

Loved the large sized room
Was worried when heard there was a 21st on that night but must have good soundproofing as didn't hear a thing
Only negative it was cold so had to keep wall heater on which was a bit noisy

The location is convenient, with two large supermarkets just a one-minute walk away.
It is run by kind hosts; I was especially well looked after by H during my stay. I would love to visit again.
