"Terrific stay. As the accurate listing shows, the view, deck, spa, and water access are such a treat. And the kayaks and paddle board are a great addition. The inside is also lovely, and has virtually everything you’d want. I’ve never stayed at a vacation home that was this well kitted out. Stay here if you get the chance!"

"We enjoyed hiking down the trail to Kaiteriteri each day, taking in the gorgeous views and bird calls. If it’s really hot, know that there is not AC and the windows don’t have screens on them to keep bugs out at dusk. At other times of day, we were able to open the windows and let cool air in. We enjoyed the kitchen that enabled us to cook some of our own food."

"Pheasant Lodge is simply outstanding. The property is set in a beautiful location, surrounded by established trees and only about 7 minutes from Mapua.The quality of the home, the decor, all of the supplies is first class. Everything you could possibly think of is provided. We felt so at home and so relaxed. We will definitely return. Colleen and Alby were such wonderful hosts and this property is a credit to their hard work. "

"Property was perfect for a large family group of adults and children. Kitchen spacious, rooms well spaced to give everyone their own area, outdoor area safe & great for children’s play. We loved the location - close to lots of wineries and just out of town. Peaceful, clean and a treat for a family getaway."

"Cosy. Clean. Comfortable. Great location. Well-equipped kitchen. Fun beach decor—inside and out. "

"It was unfortunate that we had heavy rain and the roof leaked. The whole place was damp and the carpet spelt of wet dog. We arrived to a mouse in the kitchen, and the ants moved in overnight. The managers were thoughtful and responsive, however, the place was really not fit for living. Sorry, wasn’t cheap either. All very disappointing."
