We loved staying at Te Mata Lodge. The location is fantastic, easy walk into the shops and cafes and really central for many attractions (wineries and other activities). The host looked after us so well and was friendly and helpful. The rooms are really nicely taken care of, all the items you might want were in the room with lots of space and the biggest, comfiest bed!! Quiet location, good parking, wifi, storage, etc. Really good value for money.
