    The air-conditioning and TV remote require new batteries but a easy fix

    Located in a quite rural area but a short drive to town with all that you need nearby. We had a clean room with everything we needed for a family of three staying away for two nights for the first time. The staff were nice and welcoming.

    The fridge was not turned on, so when I put the milk in the fridge was warm and I did not realize this until the next morning. Maybe just leave the fridges on.

    Location was great not to close to town but close enough.

    The room could have been aired out before our arrival, just smelled a little musty. We could hear our neighbour's talking/snoring next door.

    Nice location, basic, but clean and tidy.

    Nice Stay in Good Accommodation Away from Town Centre

    The common lounge area is closed during the Winter months. Also, the fridge in my room didn't completely work. Nothing major.

    The Aotearoa Lodge is a nice place a little bit outside of the centre of town. For anyone with a car and happy to drive it is perfectly fine. The wifi was good, the bed was comfortable and the shower was good.

    The extractor vent in the bathroom was letting in cold air. Fortunately it has an adjustable damper. Once I had it adjusted to a smaller opening comfort was restored.

    Shower head was very low, so made washing my hair difficult, bathroom door opened right onto you when sat on the loo (or standing, for the fella's), which was fine as a solo visitor but could be a little bit of a hazard for two and would benefit from a little sound proofing (could hear next door snoring lol) but this is me thinking super hard about little things, as overall it was just perfect for my short stay.

    Great host, clean and comfortable facilities, with everything you could need. Really well placed for exploring the Coromandel. Super comfy bed.
