Gina's Garden Lodges

The host was adorable, friendly & personable. This is a place to stay if you like to rough it.

I liked the affordability of this property. We had five people staying and it was really difficult to find this sort of accommodation on the island. Most of the other places only took 2 and it would have cost us a fortune to book 3 rooms. The host was very accommodating and helped us out. We really wanted a cheap holiday for the family and this gave us just that. We were so appreciative. There is a brilliant restaurant just outside the property - some people say the best on the island. The food was amazing!!

I didn't like the cockroaches. There was a musty smell in the cupboards that I didn't like as well.

Love the space and the privacy away from the main road

The deck looking out on the garden was very pleasant. Sitting there was spoilt a little by the continual smoke from the garden fire.

The kitchen facilities were very run down. The main problem was that the entire lodge ran out of water on our last day there so we had to find alternative accommodation for our last night.

Beautiful and peaceful grounds. Great location to Avatea Cafe, the Banyan Tree and Ana"s car and moped rental. Short moped ride to the market and Bubbles Cafe. Pretty central to bottom half of island.

We unfortunately got caught up in riff between a lazy cleaner and the owner. So our cabin was not as clean as we or owner expected. Owner did waive our pick up and drop off fee from airport as a good will token.

Beautiful spacious grounds. Quiet but close to Avatea cafe! It's a whole different vibe to staying on the beach. Go for walks and you meet the locals out gardening etc. We stayed 2 weeks and even were ablento watch the Olympics. It's a short scooter ride to beaches and various shops. Loved the pigs with piglets next to the drive. Queen Tutai was so helpful. Make sure you do a swim with the whales...amazing

Maybe include more kitchen stuff like a bowl for making salads. A bbq would be great!
