Great space to gather with family and BBQ eat outside and take in the magnificent views. Our family and friends stayed here together and had a wonderful time out at Poor Knights Islands. Thanks
Our group had a great time. The house has a fantastic view, a big deck, lots of space, and every amenity one would need. It's location is also excellent for accessing the various beaches and sites around Tutukaka. Would certainly recommend.
The place was clean and tidy. We had an easy check in and the house was really big with amazing views. I would recommend this place in a heart beat.

Brilliant base
Brilliant base for exploring Whangarei and Tutukaka. I loved the ECG books and CCDHB PML. The children loved the book selection. Very comfortable and spacious.
10 of us just spent a wonderful 8 days staying at the House. There were 6 adults and 4 kids. Spacious and comfortable. Amazing view. Great amenities and facilities. Excellent location. Sally was very responsive and helpful.
The internet was not working while we were there which was a mild inconvenience for those here from overseas but it did not put a dampener on the holiday at all. For some it was a relief :)
Highly recommend this spot for families and groups.
Thank you for the use of your property.
It was everything we hoped it would be.
The property offers plenty of space for large groups & although the weather didn't play ball at times we never felt cramped. The kitchen had everything we needed for entertaining & the house was very clean, even a fish filleting area.
Beautiful views & loads of parking.

Lovely view, big house, nice deck
Great place to go if you have a big crew. Driveway a bit challenging if you have a big trailer boat. Didn't realise there was a fish filleting bench around the back until we spotted it when leaving. Only negative is that there is a CCTV camera on the deck which we weren't told about and was a bit weird. Other than that great place to base yourself in Tutukaka

5-star accommodation at the gate to the Poor Knights Marine reserve
We loved staying at the Tutukaka Lodge! We particularly enjoyed the spectacular views, and how spacious and clean the lodge was. The house is very close to Tutukaka, which was handy for a Poor Knights marine reserve day trip.

Spacious property with amazing view
Exactly what we needed for a big family get away.
Love the space and the view. It had everything we needed and was clean and tidy with plenty of things to keep the kids occupied from early hours.
The location is just great and so close to everything and we didn’t need to drive far at all to nearby tracks and beaches.
Would definitely go again, fully recommend it!!

This property has an amazing view and is well situated.
This property has an amazing view and is well situated. The upper level is lovely and well appointed. The downstairs area is a bit tired and worn. This did not trouble us, but should be highlighted for those who want an overall high standard of accommodation. We couldn’t use the tv downstairs as the children all said that it had an annoying high pitched whine ( the adults couldn’t hear it). Has a great deck with comfortable outdoor furniture where we could spot boats coming into the marina.

Location was beautiful looking out towards Tutukaka Harbour entrance.
Location was beautiful looking out towards Tutukaka Harbour entrance. The house was big, warm (has a gas fireplace), heaps of parking and a wonderful big deck.
Just be prepared to pay extra for any little thing.
One thing we weren't happy with was when we went to tidy up, there were no cleaning products. In every other bookabach we have stayed in there has been cleaning products left. Surely with the price we payed those products would just come with it.
Otherwise we really enjoyed the weekend
