Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful clean and tidy room. gorgeous country views, fully enjoyed the \"special attention\" from our hosts. The meals and service were amazing. Chef \"Stewart\" cooked beyond perfection! The spa pool was very nice and relaxing. We enjoyed the 5 km trail walk around the property. A very calm, relaxing and safe feeling at this lodge. A highly recommend quiet retreat!
Thank you for making our stay so memorable.

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.

We have stayed many incredible and beautiful places all over the world. Te Karaka Lodge is completely in a class by itself! Everything and everyone in this place is superb. There is not one little detail which is not lovingly cared for by the staff.
It is a gorgeous place in gorgeous surroundings. There were 4 of us and we were very sad not to be able to book a second night.
Dinner was indescribable. Every presentation rivaled a masterpiece painting. We have many pictures of both dinner and breakfast the following morning! An exquisite and memorable place which we loved and appreciated to the fullest.
