The room was comfortable and clean, though the bathroom could use some extra dust/cleaning. The kitchen area was clean, but when opened cupboards there was an odour of mildew. A bit noisy from other guests. Overall a comfortable stay.

Quiet and easy access for a quick overnight traveler. Older building with maybe long term residents in other rooms. But still quiet and easy to access room and have privacy. It's off the main road on a corner in a residential neighborhood.

The Totara Lodge was a good choice for our one night stay in Levin. It is in a quiet location just to the west of the main street, and in easy walking distance to dining options and supermarkets. The room had everything we needed and was clean and tidy.
Can recommend the local Som Thum Thai on the main street if you’re looking for a quick meal (good food, licensed, good service).

What a lovely gem of a place. Check in was easy, the room was spotless and comfortable, and the owner was lovely. The beds were so comfy, we joked that we’d take them with us. Oh, and there is a cat who was the highlight for myself and my friends (all kitten fosterers). Highly recommended if you find yourself in Levin.

A bit dated and some of the furnishings were a bit tired, but that was fine, and given the price per night it was overall good value for money.

Jill was amazing!! We told her we were off to a wedding and when we returned she had chilled some water, organized coffee and plunger and found some snacks so we were fully prepared for the drunkenness and hangover! She was so friendly on check in. The room itself was very clean and well presented with more than we would need. Will DEFINITELY go there again
