Breakfast was great, the girl couldn’t do enough for me and my wife

William United Kingdom

Location with a view, clean room etc warm and cosy, very friendly and helpful

Judith New Zealand

Location is excellent and handy to amenities (Plimmerton's not that big). Enjoyed our stay in this very well presented backpacker lodge which has clearly seen some serious love. Good atmosphere, excellent staff, especially Jane and Danny.

Sean New Zealand

Wonderful view from our room as only a narrow quiet road between the building and the sea, so could hear the waves lapping up the beach from our room. Staff very obliging in leaving room key and access for our 11pm arrival time from the late ferry crossing.

Julie New Zealand

Great location on the waterfront. Sitting in big windows watching sunset a treat. Large bathrooms which were always clean and had added expectations ie handtowels Well set out kitchen and dining room. Laundry and clothes line. Secure property could park the car close to property.

Sue Australia

The location was right by a small beach which was lovely. I didn't have a car so I walked from the train station. It was a bit of a walk but overall a very lovely and peaceful setting.

Koscielniak Australia

Beautiful location right next to the beach and the staff is friendly and helpful

Wfliam South Africa

We always stay at Moana Lodge on our way to the South Island because we know it is comfortable and reliable.

Jacqueline United Kingdom

Very clean and organized kitchen, personnel was helpful and a daily clean up of bathrooms and toilets

Rien Netherlands

Old but comfortable building, on the sea front, with a nice little sandy beach just across the road. A quiet residential suburb. Easy parking in street alongside.

The lodge features a well-equipped kitchen, a courtyard and a cozy lounge area.

The comfortable carpeted bedrooms include heating, bedside cabinets, lamps, artworks and electric blankets. Bathrooms are private but not en suite.

Originally built as a seaside guest house in 1929, Moana Lodge Plimmerton has uninterrupted views to New Zealand's South Island. The Interislander Ferry Terminal and Westpac Stadium are both 20 minutes' drive away.

There are cafes, shops and a railway station in Plimmerton village center, just a 15-minute walk away along the beachfront. The regular commuter train to Wellington city center takes 25 minutes.

Facilities include covered bicycle and motorbike storage, guest laundry, plus indoor and outdoor dining areas. There is free on-street car parking nearby the lodge and limited free WiFi.
