Twin Waters is about 8-10 kms from Collingwood, enroute to Farewell Spit. Warm and welcoming hosts. The rooms are spacious and themed. We stayed at the Shanghai suite. There is a large common lounge and kitchen. Enjoyed our stay there. Cereals, eggs, bacon, milk and fruits were provided and we had the option of cooking what we wanted for breakfast.

Mike and Trish
Nestled between the estuary and the sea, Twin Waters Lodge offers you affordable luxury. Our award winning lodge features curved timber ceilings, walls of glass and multi-level decks. Our extensive grounds are surrounded by native bush and wetlands.
Trish and Mike have been operating B&B accommodation for more than 20 years, 14 years as owner-operators of Twin Waters Lodge. We are well travelled ourselves and aim to give our guests the kind of experience we like to have when we are travelling.
Our Lodge offers the dual advantages of miles of unspoiled beach, well populated with seas birds and waders, alongside native forest that is full of native New Zealand birds. The quiet neighbourhood means birdsong is often the only sound you hear.
