My grandchildren and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If my grandchildren could they would have lived in the pool. The owners were extremely helpful and very friendly which enhanced our stay!
Thank you for making our stay memorable! My grandchildren raved about staying at Kauri Park 😊
We’ll definitely stay again!

Lovely comfortable stay at The Stone Store Lodge. Beautiful, peaceful setting amongst the trees. Loved the kitchen and lounge areas and being able to have breakfast there. Particularly enjoyed the granola!

A perfect start to our NZ experience. Despite a delay in our flight getting us to our destination late, the motel staff were so understanding and confirmed they would be waiting for us. On arrival, we were greeted in the most friendly and welcoming manner, and given directions to our room. The next morning, staff were only to happy to direct us to the local attractions and way to maximize our day. Dinner that night was a treat, food wonderful, service excellent with the personal touch of being...

Great spot, great host that second visit there has always been delightful to stay at so happy to make this a permanent spot for when I need to travel north and spend the night. Neighbouring restaurant was a bit of a let down sadly.

Location is great, it was a spacious clean room with a very comfortable king bed. The air conditioning was fabulous as it was 31 degrees outside. The pool was lovely also with a lovely outlook.

Well maintained unit with clean amenities. Bathroom felt modern, with spacious shower and the shampoo, body wash and handwash was a nice added touch. Bed linen was clean and a hassle free check in. Located within minutes to Pak n Save. Would definately stay again.
