Lodge Bordeaux — Hotel in North Island

Hi, we booked the Lodge via Booking.com - easy experience. The lodge is great!

Very well built, clean well designed and plenty of attention to small details that show that the owners care.

We got a 1 bedroomed unit (7) and had two king singles in the living room for our daughters...plenty of room and the girl’s beds were comfortable.

The bathroom is lovely - we made full use of the spa bath and the thoughtfulness was evident in details such as the spa salts, the candle holder on the wall, and the dedicated make up friendly face clothes.

The master bedroom was again well thought tgrough with convenient switching for bedside lights, good storage options, and equipment that works like it should. The bed was generously sized - and we were sharing with a 16 month old baby so we really appreciated the room. The bed seems to have a memory foam type of topper - good for some, not first choice for others but it was fine overall.

In summary this is one of the best value ($255) motel/lodge experiences we have had in NZ. We will definitely be back, with or...

Stayed there last weekend will never ever go there again!!!! definitely racist, knocking on the door followed by barging into my room asking all these questions that were none of her business like what's our situation and saying she didn't book us in and needed to know who is in her rooms.I had been ill and was very close to having to be admitted to hospital, that was the only reason we went and stayed ther, to b close to the hospital, i really didnt enjoy her barging into our room demanding to know whos in the room what our situation was and what was wrong with me, none of that was any of her bussiness, we had checked in and paid without any problems. To top it of she went on and on about us using the courtessy washing machine because we had a whole two loads of washing on in the laundry and we had asked the person on reception at the time if it was ok to use the laundry and she said that was fine. I have stayed in many hotels but have never been treated like this very intimadating and unpleasent...

The accomdation was excellent, clean, and was serviced every day, everything was quality and the bed was so soft and comfortable ( this writer could have lingered there for hours reading or watching the in room TV). The special touchs of ordaments, the Gideon bible which is always appreciated, the lovely skylight, and underfloor heating in the bathroom so lovely to step on too. The kitchen has all that you would need including a variety of glasses, cups, mugs and even a teapot, all of which added to the experience. The hosts are wonderful, friendly and special thanks for changing the light bulb so quickly much appreciated :-) Although the weather didn't allow for sitting outside, the cushions and area were wonderfully set out, will have to come back in the summer :-) Definity our place to stay at when in Whangarei. We stayed...
