Book a Portage Cottage

at the time of our visit the resort was in a program of refurbishment and this was explained to us at our check-in. They have carried out a lot of work already and exciting to see what lies ahead for them. Certainly didn't detract from our enjoyment

My husband and I travelled from Auckland to Lochmara for a 3 night getaway. It was a was a whole day of travelling each way but well worth it. Our room was very clean and comfortable with a nice view. It was so relaxing sitting on our patio in the early evening with a bottle of wine, just watching the beautiful bay. The food in the restaurant was amazing as was the outlook. There are free kayaks to use and theres's lots to see when walking all around the grounds. Also plenty hammocks to relax...

Very nice spot to stay.

Convenient and central. Easy access to facilities.

Great friendly staff, clean comfortable rooms.

Our room was exactly as advertised, clean, well appointed and had an incredible view. We requested a last minute early check in so we could make a local tour which was accommodated without charge. Definitely would stay here again!

It was a home, and it was pet friendly and Tracey the person who owns it provided plums from her tree for us and made us very welcome

I arrived at reception and was met by a very friendly gentleman who engaged in pleasant chit chat and showed me to our room. The room was immaculate and the decor subtle and fresh. The room had a table, chairs and a comfortable settee. A flat screen TV and a CD player with a selection of DVDs. The bed was extremely comfortable with immaculately laundered and presented bedding. The kitchen had everything needed - our main need was a kettle, tea cups and wine glasses. We had no intention doing any...

An outstanding property—we absolutely loved our stay. Michelle, Stefan (and Harvey) are exceptional hosts!! Our room, the James Cook Apartment, was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, and the grounds are simply stunning. The location is perfect, with an easy 15-minute walk to the main street. Breakfast was delicious and a real highlight. We can't wait to return!

Just awesome view of the water! Lovely and clean, super close to the bay, very short walk to shops

Simple yet practical. The bed was comfortable. The room was warm. It was the perfect space for me during my stay in Waikawa.

Really cosy, clean and safe in my experience. I lived the white and blue. The kitchen and lounge felt homely. Close to the ferry, Thai restaurant, theatre, mini golf. . . A beautiful, rejuvenating place.

In our experience a very clean good sized room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.
