"Beautiful room, outstanding staff who go over and above"

"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."

"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"

"Clean, comfortable room. Nice relaxing listening to the bird early in the morning "
