"Very nice staff!! And great restaurant on site. Great bed"

"The lodge is located in a very remote location, despite of getting groceries are so inconvenient, Blake showed great generosity and hospitality to all the guests, make us feel like staying in an old friend's house. Kitchen, bathroom, and bed linen are of 5-stars clean. If you're planning to go on the Hump Ridge Track, choose Rarakau Lodge for your pre-departure accommodation is definitely the best option. "

"It was perfect thank you. Loved how close it is to gemstone Beach. The fact there's a washing machine and everything you need plus more. "

"Het heeft een hele leuke vibe, vooral de veranda is leuk. De staat van de accommodatie is wel wat verouderd, maar daar is de prijs ook naar. Sla deze plek niet over. "

"Planned weekend away fell just 2 days after massive storm that resulted in a regional emergency. Host Kaylene was wonderful to deal with and said she would refund us if we were unable to have the holiday (no power at home etc). Wonderful host. Home was toasty warm and welcoming. Spacious rooms, super king beds (x2). Great location to explore the Tuatapere area e.g Hump Ridge, beaches (Gemstone Beach!!), Clifden Caves etc. Highly recommend and we plan to come back. Kaylene delivered a pyrex pie...
