"Wonderful host. Pizza occasion was great. The cabin was comfortable, with good kitchen facilities. We could have stayed another week."

"The room was great. The staff very friendly"

"Great amenities, clean, staff were very helpful. Stunning spot on the water. "

"Host, along with communication was impeccable. There were a few little hiccoughs mainly because we were the first travellers of the season but nothing that couldn't be sorted. The cabin was extremely cute & clean with a great little view. The outside kitchen was well equipped with everything you would require. We were also gifted some veg & lemons from their garden.Outside shower & bath plus compostible loo all clean & tidy. Easy walking to LIgar Bay & drive to anywhere in the bay. Great for a fab off grid getaway. Thanks"

"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. "

"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."

"We stayed at the Beach Bach and it had the most amazing views! The cabin was spacious and very well designed- loved the log burner in the middle of the living area and the fire pit outside. Great kitchen too! Had a truly amazing stay and left with great memories of a beautiful place"

"Great location 200 metres from the beach. The house is warm and inviting and is fully equipped for an enjoyable stay. We particularly enjoyed the fully fenced garden and garage equipped with recreational equipment. "
