Perfect Base

Tahi Lodge was a great place to stay at Snells Beach. Lauren was very generous with continental breakfast provisions, fresh fruit and homemade banana bread. Comfortable and stylish, it made a great base in exploring around this area. Recommend Brick Bay sculpture walk and lunch.

We were warmly greeted and unexpected found a big bowl of fruits in our apartment. The floors are clean and carpeted and we had a very well equipped kitchen. After that experience we always measured other stays on the high standard found here. We can highly recommend that place. Thank you very much for the great experience!

Comfortable, clean and well equipped

Self contained facility within the host's property. Spacious living room with sofa, lounger, coffee table plus a dining table and two chairs. Fridge, toaster and kettle (coffee machine - extra charge). Large flat screen TV. Very comfortable one night stay en route further north. Separate bedroom with large comfortable bed. Large en suite shower and toilet. Very clean and everything in very good condition. Small terrace immediately outside with table and chairs. Parking right outside the room. Breakfast items in fridge and cupboard: yoghurt, cereals, milk, fruit juice, bread, butter, jams and a well stocked fruit bowl. Very nice hosts. Quiet location in a residential area.

The room was spacious clean and comfortable. Our unit felt a bit like a basement suite. The hotel is out of the main town area so you have to drive to restaurants. A quirky thing was charging $2 for a coffee pick. This was even though breakfast in your room was included.

The room which we enjoyed had a wonderful view, the amenities were thoughtful and convenient, and the large bathroom area offered great water pressure --- something we always love when traveling. Our host, Lauren, took the time to offer great suggestions and give us helpful information related to the area and New Zealand that made it easier for us to get settled and comfortable. Lauren also did a wonderful job providing fruit and keeping our space ready and clean. Many thanks to her. Overall, Tahi Lodge was a wonderful place to stay and we definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Laura greeted us upon arrival and helped us with a small load of laundry as the unit no longer has a washer/dryer. The unit was quite warm and had only one fan so my son’s bedroom was quite hot and muggy during the night. The breakfast provided was good- 4 assorted jams & honey, butter amd a loaf of bread, plus assorted cereals. The TV was quite small but fortunately was a Smart TV so we were able to access Netflix. Overall, I would highly recommend Tahi Lodge was the only caveat being the lack of a fan in the second bedroom.
