The experience of staying here was great, excellent communication and wonderful touches to make it feel like a home away from home. Great access to the local areas but away from people which was great. We had a wonderful stay.

You were all great guests who left the house lovely and clean. So glad you enjoyed your stay. However, I am dismayed to hear that you were unable to access the internet. We have had some problems recently, where the internet just drops out for varying amounts of time . Vodafone maintains we are on the edge of the boundary! This was not how it has been in the past. Thank you for bringing us to our attention, as we will pursue this matter further with Vodafone..

Hazels lodge was the perfect spot for our large family group in waimauku for a wedding. The house was well provisioned and really comfortable. There is plenty of room for parking and the outdoor sitting area was fantastic, complete with BBQ. We all had a great time and commented to each other how peaceful and perfect it was. Thank you Hazel, we highly recommended your lodge.

Great location

Stayed here for a family wedding at the hunting lodge. Great location and close to venue and shops/cafes. Shower was a bit mouldy but apart from that the place was great. Would stay there again.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Nov, 2024
Sorry to hear that you felt that the shower was mouldy. The silicone sealer tends to develop ingrained mould that will not scrub off. Maybe the sealer could be ripped out and replaced. Will check it out. Otherwise glad you enjoyed your stay enough to consider staying again. We do try to present a home that is a comfortable, pleasant place to stay.

A great little spot to relive the glory days of our old back yard. Minutes from all our favourite activities in the area(some sadly closed now) and had fun introducing the kids to a real surf beach! Hazel was very clear in her communication and the kids just adored the friendly lady in the caravan, who looks after the place. Id like to complain about the weather though
