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!

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...

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...

Grove is the bomb! For our short stay Grove delivered over and above! Excellent location walking distance to getting a morning coffee, best beer garden cafe that’s kid friendly and excellent pool! Despite chilly mornings we had a morning swim and ended the day with one! Clean, comfortable, chilled stay! Coupled with kids movies, comfy beds and clean bathroom and kitchen - it’s the place to stay!
