Beautiful location, delightful hosts, charming room. Our hosts went out of their way to make our stay memorable and satisfying.
New ZealandTwin 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.
New ZealandEverything!! Fabulous, friendly, generous hosts. Well appointed, themed suites and a really neat communal dining, lounge space for guests. Absolutely recommemd this accomodation at the gateway to Farewell spit.
New ZealandThe room, the lodge, the facilities were all excellent - quiet and away. Mike and Trish were very friendly and accomodating. Nothing was a problem.
New ZealandWe were supplied with what we needed to cook an egg tomato and bacon breakfast.
New ZealandLocation was wonderful, not too far from home but just far enough to feel like a holiday break. Ensuite was well designed, underfloor heating appreciated.
New ZealandBreakfast consisted of cereal & assortment of fresh fruit & fruit juice, bacon, eggs & tomatoes and toast and yummy condiments and coffee & tea. Great facilities ( separate kitchen & dining area) to prepare breakfast at your own leisure. Felt very relaxed & homely.
New ZealandGreat breakfast cooked or continental breakfast available, just had to cook it ourselves in the well appointed kitchen and dining/living area. This suited us fine as we could eat what and when we wanted. Amazing location with native flora and fauna. Nice beach walks and handy to other areas of interest. We appreciated the hosts offer of complimentary pre -dinner drink and nibbles and their knowledge about the area.
New ZealandOur hostess and host were both fabulously accommodating, friendly and caring. We all enjoyed their attention to detail, warm hospitality, home cooked breakfasts and brilliant coffees. Not to mention sharing a local wine together.
AustraliaThe Owners of the Lodge were so accommodating, friendly and made us feel very welcome. We loved the room, the extra lounge to use in the evening which was beautifully furnished. Just a small walk to a lovely swimming beach. We enjoyed the resident dogs very much and we also were allowed to bring our pet which was treated like a queen. Excellent hosts, -couldnt have been better we loved our stay.
