Glamping in Waikanae

"We had a lovely time in Waikanae. The house was spotless, close to the beach, and had a great outdoor area. We'd happily stay again. "

"All excellent. Amazing views too."

"Clean room, friendly staff"

"location being close to railway is a big plus for me and ameties are excelent"

"The room had everything we needed. Modern bathroom. Room was dated but clean and tidy. "

"Have stayed at this location multiple times, with each and every occasion being absolutely wonderful! The staff are so lovely and the rooms are always in impeccable condition with a wide variety of ammenities that I still keep being pleasantly surprised by. I always reccommend Totara Lodge when friends and family mention wanting to find lodging near Wellington and have yet to hear any bad reviews from them either!"

"We didn’t expect the Hilton Hotel standards, but we did expect a level of cleanliness. When we arrived unfortunately we found dead insects and ants raiding, an awful smell in the bathroom, the bedding was clean but the doona should have been replaced. The bathroom had mouldy grouting and mouldy bath mat. The kitchen was dusty on top of the cabinets, and the fan looks like it wasn’t ever dusted. We also weren’t able to use any of the curtains properly because they were broken and the front door would open in heavy wind. The overall feel was not the best experience. I wouldn’t mind the general state if it was much cleaner."

"OK"

"My hotel room did not have view of the harbor, it was small, clean. The mattress was very hard, did not find it very comfortable. Reasonable enough for price and duration of my stay. The digital key I was given to enter the premises after 10pm, did not work when I arrived back in early hour of dawn, had to call management to have them open the door for me so I could get into my room. (Had to wait more than 15 minutes in the cold outside while I waited) Thankfully they answered and opened, but they should make sure these work at all hours to prevent this happening again."
