Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything but mainly the incredible 5* breakfast spread

Cons: That we had to leave, if I'd known how lovely it was I would have booked 2 x nights.

Pros: One of the most enjoyable stays I've had in New Zealand. The room is very nice. The Jacuzzi is very good for the end of a day for relaxation. The breakfast is one of the best I've ever had. The hosts are extremely friendly and we really feel at home. The reception was spectacular and we were given tips on what we could do and the other morning always worrying about what we had done. It was at Chale Romantica that I asked for my fiancée Baswati's hand and where the host provided us with the environment for it. To remember, remember and come back for sure :)

Pros: Breakfast was great, with a great view & a great hostess

Cons: The bed was too close to the side wall & had to avoid hitting the TV.

Pros: Attention to detail was excellent. Nadine was the perfect combination of welcoming and helpful while allowing us our privacy and freedom in the home. Her recommendations for activities and restaurants were spot on for our interests. The breakfast was stunning and sure to satiate even the most robust of appetites. And the views are to die for

Pros: Heinz and Brita were absolutely lovely!!

Pros: Excellent breakfast with plenty of fruit and fresh, home-made bread and good coffee

Pros: Our hosts knowledge of the area, their ability to assist you with your itinerary, provide recommendations for restaurant dining in Paihia, which did not disappoint. All around friendly nature of our hosts wanting to ensure we had a great time in the area, and to make the most of our time here. Which we did and throughly enjoyed ourselves. Best of all was learning about the Maori culture.

Cons: There was noting we didn’t like, perhaps the rain at the time, but our hosts could not control that. The only issue is that as you drive in and out of the Lodge, you do need to be careful of the other traffic, as you are on a bend, so have very little visual of other cars approaching. As you gathered you do need a car to access the lodge, as it a little way outside the township of Paihia.

Pros: A memorable stay with Paul and Barbara. We were made to feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Paul had me laughing with his delightful sense of humour. A great stay, lovely breakfast, would not hesitate to recommend Morepork Riverside Lodge.

Pros: My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Morepork Riverside Lodge very much. Paul and Barb were excellent hosts, going out of their way to provide an excellent breakfast, very enjoyable conversations and plenty of advice for daily activities, if needed . The room was large, very clean with plenty of space for our luggage. The bathroom was of large size and very clean. As always with such great accommodation, we were sorry that we couldn't stay even longer (we spend a total of four nights at Morepork Riverside Lodge).

Pros: A ”hidden” gem! Paul & Barb made our 3-day visit a success! A bit off the hustle in Paihia, and that is GOOD! Perfect breakfast, wonderful view from the room, excellent hosts, friendly, helpful, informative! Helped us with booking of boat-tour, Waitangi tour and lots of tricks to avoid queues aso!
