Hyecroft Lodge — Hotel in North Island

When we return to Whangarei we now know where to stay. We stayed at Hyecroft Lodge a few weeks back. Andrew and Francis proved to be delightful hosts and wonderful raconteurs. Conversation was wide-ranging often spiked with some great humour. It was a pleasure being able to sit down to a delicious continental breakfast in their beautifully appointed home, (a conversation piece in itself) and exchange banter with both of them and the guests who joined us at the breakfast table. As to the setting, views down harbour to die for. Hyecroft Lodge is set in a rural setting, yet is so very close to Whangarei township, where we wished to catch up with family and old friends. Our unit was spotless;, it had a modern feel to it with tasteful decor and quality fittings throughout. Very comfy beds too. All in all our stay was the icing on the cake as regards our 3 day visit to the city and we would unhestitatingly recommend this 'experience' to anyone wanting to enjoy independence, while still feeling that little bit pampered. Thank you Andrew and Francis .. We'll be back ..

Staying at Hyecroft Lodge was a wonderful experience, our host's Andrew and Francis had plenty of interesting stories to tell over breakfast where all guests sat down together to eat and talk of their experiences and put the world to rights. The view from the main house was great. The room's were very comfortable with a small kitchen consisting of microwave, kettle and fridge. There was a bottle of milk already in the fridge when we arrived so that we were able to have a cup of tea 👍 Everything was spotlessly clean and well decorated and maintained. Andrew had put together a booklet about the property and place's to visit along with maps and time's to get there. This was very useful and we followed a number of recommendations. One highlight was the tour to the Poor Knights islands booked with Perfect Day.

Thanks you Andrew and Francis for welcoming us...

We booked both Queen suites for a four night stay with my wife's sister and brother in law.|The four of us raved about our wonderful stay and experiences. The hosts were fantastic to deal with and get local advice. Online booking was easy and communication always very prompt by email.|The suits were impeccably presented with every conceivable feature. Quiet, clean and comfortable. And the continental breakfast served in the hosts home was excellent. And the discussions with them and other guests was always entertaining.|Location was perfect. Only 10 minute drive to the centre of the city. But the accomodation felt like we were in the country. Open fields we could wander around right next to us.|Highly recommend. Price very reasonable....
