Lodge Quirky Woods

1 Arawa Avenue Quirky Woods, 3189 Maketu, New Zealand –

Lock in a great price for Quirky Woods - rated 9.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

The bedrrom is incredible, cosy, fashion, clean and my girlfriend loved, perfect for couples. Charlotte is very kind with the hosts.

Caio, Brazil

Offered something a little different without compromising the quality of accommodation or services. Simon and Charlotte are very welcoming hosts. Added bonus was access to Newdick’s Beach via a forest walk ... and of course the gigantic playful pup ‘MoJo’ Will be back.

Twalker, New Zealand

The place is very different to the boring run of mill accommodation..the room was big and very clean and comfortable..The share bathroom was beautiful and clean..A lovely warm welcome by owners

Sandy, Australia

The owners were very friendly and so was Mojo the Great Dane. Very clean.

Nicole, Australia

I had the best sleep comfy bed & very peaceful, lovely place to go if you need a little R&R.

Rebecca, Australia

The location, the total peace and tranquility. Little cottages are quaint and very clean. We loved the native bush and gardens and short walk to the beach.Be a great place to have a wedding. The owners were extremely hospitable. We wish you all the best for your future business. Will definitely stay again.

Christine, Australia

Beautiful views, awesome fruit trees, comfortable room, loved the bathroom & Charlotte & Simon are lovely host.

Desiree, New Zealand

The property is amazing. The "chalet" cabin we stayed in was tranquil and magical. The bed was super comfortable and everything you needed was pretty much right there. The track to the beach was beautiful. We had such a nice time, thank you!

Cameron, United Kingdom

Absolutely loved the peacefulness at Quirky Woods, surrounded by beautiful greenery was breathtaking! Simon and his partner were the best, they were understanding with our late arrival and super helpful getting our car out of the ditch lol. Our room was just perfect! I really loved that it wasn’t a boring, clean, all white room. The room had a calming aura and the interior design had personality and style with touches of stunning home-made art that I really appreciated. I also really enjoyed the outdoor area with the comfiest chairs that I probably could’ve slept on. Favourite place I’ve stayed in the North Island by far! Great money value 👍🏽

The bathroom it's a little bit far from the bedroom, and you need to walk in the dark at night to get there, could be more lightning the way to bathroom.

The mattress was weird, like really saggy near the head, we turned out pillows around and slept the other way, that works better. Glad it didn’t rain, the driveway and walk to the toilet was quite steep.
The owners were very friendly and so was Mojo the Great Dane. Very clean.

There was really nothing about the place I didn’t like you had to share amenities but you knew that prior to booking & I really didn’t see the other people till my last day before leaving. I would go back again for sure.
I had the best sleep comfy bed & very peaceful, lovely place to go if you need a little R&R.

The one thing which could be improved would be mosquito coils for outside and maybe a mosquito plug for inside - as sleeping with the windows open would have been heaven (it was quite warm) - but the mozzies were about. Other than that though (and you could bring those items yourself easily!) nothing was amiss.

Not one bad thing to say
So much attention to detail, everything was so clean, little chocolates on top of the bed when we arrived. It’s in the most beautiful area and there’s so much exploring with beautiful pathways well looked after. Staff are beyond lovely and welcoming and have the best dog I have ever come across.
