"A five star stay in a gorgeous land where you can be truly taken care of and enjoy incredible food and beautiful New Zea"

10.0

This place is truly an oasis in the middle of such a beautiful part of the country. And from the moment you step out of your car, you are welcomed to an incredible stay by the most professional and warm staff I think I’ve ever met.

In winter the tile floor was a bit cold in the bathroom and would like a stronger shower pressure but it was fine. No real issues.

"Amazing experience, worth every penny."

10.0

From the moment I arrived, I felt like an honorary guest. Danielle and Aaron were extremely gracious hosts. Fabulous facilities. The chef and his team prepared an amazing feast using only the best local ingredients. This was by far the one of the best experiences I've had in all my travels around the world. Kudo to The Karaka Lodge for their organization and delivery.

I wish I could have stayed longer.

10.0

The managers Aaron and Danny are amazing, professional, yet very friendly. They made sure all our needs were met but allowing us the privacy to enjoy the peace and beauty of the Te Karaka lodge surroundings. Our meals, prepared by the master chef, Franz were as good as we have experienced in any restaurant . Only the finest ingredients selected by him. Presented beautifully with attention to detail and creating wonderfully unique taste combinations. We cannot recommend Te Karaka Lodge highly enough for that special get away in the country. We will be back.

"Luxury countryside escape."

10.0

Had a wonderful stay at Te Karaka Lodge, Aaron and Danielle were amazing hosts and Franz cooked very delicious food! It is isolated out in the countryside and exactly what we were looking for some time to unwind, it was amazing to see all the stars as we luckily has clear sky's our second night. Everything is new and a high standard, beautiful design inside. We also loved Steve the friendly cat.

Nothing, it was excellent for our stay.
