"Planned weekend away fell just 2 days after massive storm that resulted in a regional emergency. Host Kaylene was wonderful to deal with and said she would refund us if we were unable to have the holiday (no power at home etc). Wonderful host. Home was toasty warm and welcoming. Spacious rooms, super king beds (x2). Great location to explore the Tuatapere area e.g Hump Ridge, beaches (Gemstone Beach!!), Clifden Caves etc. Highly recommend and we plan to come back. Kaylene delivered a pyrex pie dish so we could make a bacon and egg pie for dinner one night. Nothing was too much trouble."

"Very nice staff!! And great restaurant on site. Great bed"

"Only one house in front of us and the beach, and we could see and hear the sea.Great to be pet friendly too."

"Such a beautiful home in a magical spot, modern but comfortable and cozy, so many interesting places nearby especially Gemstone Beach and Howell’s Point Reserve, and Riverton is really charming, we loved our stay"

"The lodge is located in a very remote location, despite of getting groceries are so inconvenient, Blake showed great generosity and hospitality to all the guests, make us feel like staying in an old friend's house. Kitchen, bathroom, and bed linen are of 5-stars clean. If you're planning to go on the Hump Ridge Track, choose Rarakau Lodge for your pre-departure accommodation is definitely the best option. "

"It was perfect thank you. Loved how close it is to gemstone Beach. The fact there's a washing machine and everything you need plus more. "

"This is a beautiful house with huge windows everywhere and front and back 2nd floor porches. It was very well equipped with appliances and had enough plates, bowls etc for a decent crowd. It's also very close to the beach. Although then-current photos didn't show an oven or stovetop, the house does have them, which made cooking there easy."
