Our stay at Te Awa was the perfect welcome to New Zealand. Our hosts provided a personal experience for us in the Bay of Islands. The setting couldn’t have been more spectacular on the banks of the river, and our room was very comfortable and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool each afternoon, following a day of exploring, and watched the moon rise each evening from the expansive deck. Breakfasts were delicious and prepared us for a day of activity. We appreciated every recommendation provided by Martin and Joelson. They definitely set the bar for the rest of our time in New Zealand. If you have the chance to stay here, we couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Mum and I had a lovely stay at Martin and Eddy lodge. Amazing breakfast spread, easy to find, comfortable room, pool was amazing, and a lovely peaceful getaway in Paihia! Close to town, but far enough to just relax. Great value for money. I look forward to recommending Te Awa Lodge to friends and family and hopefully returning in the future!

Martin, our host was friendly, nothing too much trouble. The setting was spectacular, right by the river and so peaceful. Great poached eggs at breakfast. Would definitely recommend here to stay

We loved our stay at Te Awa lodge. The hosts were super friendly, helpful and flexible to accomodate our needs. The property´s location is stunning along the riverside. Breakfast was wonderful and flexible time wise. Marthin and Addy are superb hosts, and made us feel extremely welcome. They were also a wonderful source of information going around the area.

Location is fabulous with amazing river views and beautiful gardens. Lovely swimming pool, great host- Martin cannot do enough for you. Good breakfast and excellent barbecue facilities. All in all, a wonderful stay.

The location was exceptional - the staff extremely accommodating and friendly. We loved every minute of the stay at the lodge. My partner fell in love with Coco the dog and wanted to take her with us lol. The facilities out of this world and comfortable for the price. Awesome pool and awesome continental breakfast. The hosts even allowed us for a really late checkout and a swim on the day we left which I find going above and beyond for customer service but what can you expect from ex Air NZ staff members - only the best.

There is nothing I can say that I disliked about the stay - maybe the only thing I can mention about what we disliked, the fact that we didnt book for longer and stayed longer.

We loved everything about Te Awa Lodge. The hosts Martin and Eddy were amazing and we will definitely be back!

Nothing - it was excellent!

Wonderfully welcoming hosts, a delicious social breakfast allowing time to be able to connect with other guests and share ideas and tips on each others Bay of Islands adventures, great facilities within our room, and the lodge surroundings are just stunning - perfectly planted gardens and a crystal clear swimming pool to enjoy. Idyllic!

Everything was wonderful.

The service was exceptional. The staff were extremely accommodating, warm, made to feel at home. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The view outside my window was breathtaking. Excellent property with stunningly attractive scenery. Would definitely recommend it to a friend.

I didn't like that my stay was short. I wish I could have stayed longer. But I will definitely return again in the near future.

Everything!! the hospitality from the hosts was second to none. The grounds are so beautiful and well kept, the pool is lovely, the breakfast is great, the beds are comfy and everything is so clean. A very short drive from the hustle & bustle of Paihia so it feels very quiet and peaceful, however close enough for easy access. We really enjoyed using the bbq and having a meal overlooking the river. You will not regret staying here!!

Nothing - I just wish we could’ve stayed longer
