Sound location and a friendly and helpful Manager

Grant New Zealand

Location is great. Easy stroll to the most beautiful beach, shop, cafe and Irish Pub. Great hosts and if you're into animals (which we are!), there are pigs, chickens and a dog. :) Lovely, modern accommodation.

Wilna New Zealand

Very lovely hosts, helped us out with a few things. Service was very reliable and would stay again

Colleen New Zealand

Really friendly family, made us feel right at home and a beautiful place that perfectly fits the vibe of Great Barrier Island.

Duncan New Zealand

Good location in Tryphena close to Beach, Store and Irish Pub. Nice well equipped kitchen with gas stove and good sized lounge. Very helpful and informative host.

Brett New Zealand

Fiona was a wonderful hostess with great local knowledge. The kitchen was fully equipped with gas cooking, we had a lovely outdoor seating area, a small line to dry our swimwear, beautiful hot shower and comfortable warm bed. I'd give the unit 10 out of 10 for cleanliness. We also rented our car through Fiona, it was perfect for our needs. Our whole experience was seamless and we would definitely stay at Aotea Lodge again.

Marie New Zealand

Very basic but clean and comfortable with excellent hosts. A nice walk down into Tryphena.

Karen New Zealand

Fiona and Mike were amazing. The location is fantastic and the bed was comfy.

Melanie New Zealand

Everything was excellent except for beds, we would definately book a different room next time. Bunk room not suitable for older clients! Birdlife astounding

Michelle New Zealand

A central location in Tryphena. Fiona was so helpful and went out of her way to help me, even lending me a car seat one day.
