    Everything was exceptional! The view, the room, the comfort, and the service. Mandy and Andrew made us feel right at home, and Astelia lodge was definitely a highlight of our trip (especially because of the animals!)

Mandy & Andrew
Astelia Lodge is a purpose designed Lockwood home, set in 5 acres of rural countryside with two private guest suites, each accomodating two adults. The lodge is warm and insulated with light pine decor and stunning views out on to the Horohoro Bluffs. A stream run at the edge of the garden. Our aim is to make people feel comfortable, relaxed and looked after. We specialise in providing a selection of breakfasts and evening meals cooked to a high standard, catering for vegetarians and Vegans too. We have Dogs, Cats, a Donkey and two Alpacas.
We take pride in making our guests feel welcome and looking after their needs. Being part of someone's special memory of their trip to New Zealand is very important to us. Mandy and I have travelled extensively and we believe we have an insight into what delights guests, and these can often be the smallest things. Mandy has her own Paper-craft studio and is very much into paper arts. I am a photographer and I'm happy to share knowledge about techniques and advise on places to visit locally, especially for those interested in Photography.
We are 15 mins from Rotorua where there is plenty to do and see for sightseers and adventure tourists alike. There are some stunning lakes around the City, thermal parks, cultural shows, restaurants in town, a Gondola with luge tracks, the Redwoods forests with Kms of mountain biking tracks and a wonderful light show in the forest at night.
