Warkworth Lodge

Excellent staff. Room was fine

Place was immaculate! Michelle was extremely welcoming with a good sense of humor! Great in room facilities, cracker shower! Very hand to town - top marks!

Nothing to mention.

Lovely spot. Right in Warkworth, walking distance to shops

.

Location

Very cold room

Great location and very quiet. Comfortable bed.

Decor is quite dated. Definitely needs heat pumps. With the very high ceilings in all rooms, the chill factor was noticeable. Oil finned heaters are next to useless.

Central location near the bridge and town centre is excellent. It has good parking and a quiet position above the main Street level. The building is partly historic and has a large kitchen and spacious lounge.

The tv was small and out of date. It needs an upgrade. The room did not have much space for storing clothes or possessions. The fittings were also somewhat old and tired.

Just beautiful, cozy, inviting. We will be back.

Not a thing

Super schön eingerichtet. Sehr entspannt und toller Pool/Whirlpool. Die Gastgeberin war auch sehr, sehr nett. Wir waren zum 2. mal hier und werden gerne wieder kommen

Old school and well maintained.

Not enough power points. Staff struggled with simple questions over messaging.

Manager met us on arrival, she was very helpful getting us set up. Location was very convenient to the town. Weather was not good and we received suggestions for things to do locally were excellent considering the conditions.

Property is older and some of the doors don't close well.

The location, the facilities were great. Nice size of room, swimming pool and hot tub. Staff were very welcome, friendly and helpful in every way eg booking taxis, laundry etc.

Nothing

Nice facilities, comfortable, did not try the pool, but should have. Helpful staff.

The streets getting in were a trifle Neanderthal.

Large well equipped rooms in a delightful historical building. Staff are brilliant and a great source of information on the area

The staff were very helpful and friendly. We were shown around as soon as we booked in. The shared facilities were so grand. We really liked the lounge. The outdoor space was very pretty and well kept. There was a pool which i wish now i had used. We slept well as the bed was very comfortable. Very clean.

Our room was just a bit on the small side. We had no where to put our suitcase. It was not worth unpacking it so opening it and getting stuff out of it was a challenge. We had to place it in front of the door in the end. The bedside lamps were not great to read by. And not many plug sockets available. However, we really did enjoy our stay.

Central....good

More space in bathroom, especially round the washbasin, would have been desirable.

Close to town ,

The room was out side the home in a small pod we had to make up the small bed

Friendly and charming

Toilet dripping all night

Thank you, Michelle, for your help and advice.

Slightly short on space for luggage, but okay on my own.

We have stayed before and love the simplicity but comfort. People are always super.

The vibe of the place Friendly owner (who went above and beyond) Clean and tidy room Great location

N/A

I love the pool and chill vibes

No air conditioning

Everything! The lodge itself is stunning! As a single woman travelling solo, I need to feel safe and comfortable and this was just perfect! Such a great location in the centre of town but not near the main road so it isn’t noisy. The communal kitchen has everything you need! And I loved having dinner by the pool.

Leuke locatie. Mooie gemeenschappelijke ruimtes. Leuke buitenruimte bij het zwembad. Op goede loopafstand van het centrum. Goede kookmogelijkheid in de studio.

De studio is wat gedateerd. Toilet niet echt schoon. Wat gehorig. Geen eigen buiten zitje.

Downstairs kitchen and lounge area were well appointed with lots of comfortable couches and chairs. Had an old homestead charm to it. Lots of places near by to eat at.

Upstairs rooms in the villa were hot with no fan or air conditioning. Heat was exacerbated by some windows being in poor repair with a note not to open them.

Lady at reception was so welcoming and inviting. The whole place was beautiful and we made use of the hot tub which was very lovely! Our room was perfect for the four of us.

Host and staff very helpful. The pool was lovely too

The bed was soft but still had a great night's sleep

Loved it...a walk down memory lane

Nothing to dislike

Didn't notice.

It met expectations, loved the manor vibe.

Close to everything clean comfortable the pool was awesom the owners were awesome

Great location, staff excellence, we couldn't ask for more , perfection

It was far over charged. We booked 3 adults. What we stayed was a studio with one queen size bed and one sofa bed, very small room. We was pay $393.75 per night, even though it was during the new year holiday, I felt it charged too much.plus the sounds proof was bad and we cound heard the noisy from next door and upstairs

The host was friendly and seemed nice.

This place is seriously run down and kind of gross. We could barely sleep the first night. My child opted to sleep on the floor rather than the sofa bed because it was so uncomfortable. There was no working aircon and the ceiling fan did basically nothing. There was constant stomping and banging from the room upstairs. This meant I could not sleep really for more than a few minutes at a time. Cobwebs and dead bugs in the room and more on the window sills, TV did not work despite multiple attempts, wifi was very very slow and things constantly timed out including the tv. No one at reception to help sort issues. Parking was tricky and annoying to get in and out of. Spa pool had lots of bugs in it to the point that they were washing off me in the shower afterwards.

Excellent room and location. The staff are always extremely friendly.

Swimming pool, kitchen

Rooms need updating. Old and tired

The property itself is lovely, and both the pool and spa very clean. The staff are welcoming and helpful.

My room was very tiny and claustrophobic, with very dated furnishings and not so much as a bedside table or light. I found it very difficult to relax by the pool because of so much traffic noise.

The host manager was very friendly. She showed and explained me the lodge and the room. I got a room upgrade without asking. very nice victorian style. A absolute complete and modern kitchen is useable for everybody, free tea and coffee included. I got a lot of tips for traveling, had a nice conversation. thx

nothing

Love the pool, beautiful large kitchen and lots of outdoor and indoor lounge space

Room was a little dated but expected, we had a desk in the room that took up space but no chair. Probably could be replaced with a dresser. But overall great stay

This was our third stay here. The room was quiet and well appointed with a private terrace.

Bathroom was a bit small.

Location

Noisy you could hear everything, people in the bathroom it was terrible. Needs new bed and insulation. No aircon. It was like going back in time. No fridge or room cleaning.

Michelle who manages the Lodge is a treasure ! The lodge itself is just beautiful - gorgeous living room with fireplace and wonderful deep sofas - huge kitchen with all appliances - and outside is the gated pool and hot tub . It’s got a wonderful atmosphere and thus is the seconds stay I have had while visiting NZ.

The atmosphere of peace and old time charm

We loved the friendly warm welcome when we arrived. Michelle is a great host ,we had our fur baby & she made us all feel very comfortable. Our room was clean & all the facilities were well looked after. Pool & spa were good. Quick walk to town was perfect for us We most definitely will be back to stay again

We didn't like that we had to leave

Got in very late but had good instructions for contactless entry. Left before breakfast so can't rate.

Location was great Very clean property

The bedroom was great but unfortunately the mattress wasn’t in the same condition As in you tended to roll into the middle of the bed and way too soft

Laid back host and with all the facilities contemporary amenities was a most enjoyable stay.

Friendly helpful staff Great facilities and location

Hosts were very friendly would recommend close to shops and central to town

Michelle is an excellent host. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with a warm smile and kindly showed us around the property, making us feel right at home. To our surprise, she even upgraded our accommodation at no extra cost, which we truly appreciated. The place itself was comfortable, well-kept, and exceeded our expectations. Michelle’s hospitality and thoughtful touches made our stay a memorable one, and we would happily recommend her place to anyone looking for a pleasant and stress-free experience.

Pluses: good location, wifi, shower. Clean.

My mistake for not double checking. My preference is a room with at least a fridge. Lodges obviously just have a communal kitchen area. Other than that, because it’s an old building there isn’t any soundproofing and could hear the other people staying there. Worst though? The smoke detector in my room relentlessly beeped throughout the night. Obviously the battery had not been replaced and the ceiling was too high for me to reach it. The owner did text me on 11 August to say she would refund me via Booking dot com. As at 10 September no sign of it.

It's a beautiful historic building and nice hosts. Beautiful communal lounge and amazing communal kitchen. As a solo female traveler it's hard to make use of these communal spaces at times. It is easier in a backpackers where many people are on their own and it's a hive of activity you don't feel in spotlight. When i arrived there was a man and woman having loud conversation in kitchen area which I could hear clearly from my adjacent room and it put me off going in to make food. Also arriving at night and not knowing area would have been nice if there were amenities there for purchase. Also please supply real milk! I think this is an excellent place for a group to stay. Less so for single traveler

Night manager was so friendly and made me feel at home. Showed me all the beautiful facilities.

The Room was clean and tidy the staff were helpful and courteous and contacted us once thy realised we had left a phone charger behind.

We stayed for a long weekend with some friends and the size of the lodge worked perfectly for our large group. The large kitchen particularly was ideal. Some rooms have good beds but the singles aren’t comfortable and the furniture in the lounge worked ok but is old and needs replacing. The hostess was very helpful through out the booking process and during our stay. Would recommend for a large group.

The location was great. The host was super friendly and check in/out easy. 👍

Unfortunately the bed in unit 1 was very uncomfortable- like a granite slab wrapped in cellophane?? Heard every squeak from unit above - thank u but unlikely to rebook.

Period building

Room And bed small

Staff were excellent and very friendly, felt instantly welcome. Great advice where to go for a meal

Room was quite small

Perfect stay for us. Central. Good base from where we could explore the area. Friendly staff. Easy parking. Clean. Nice gardens. Great old villa. Loved the experience of staying there. Enjoyed the hot tub and pool too. Will recommend it to my friends.

Stayed for a week. Had to move rooms several times due to sewage issues and uncomfortable beds. Was charged extra to compensate for somebody else’s upgrade so I could have the room they had booked. Service was sporadic - one duty manager was empathetic and apologetic the other was not. Won’t be back again.

A very comfortable and relaxing environment.

Close to main shopping centre

The Host Michelle was so warm and kind! She gave us great tips and we shared memorable talks. The house was clean, cozy and beds / bathroom good!

Everything was perfect, from the welcoming of the nice host, to the kitchen and the room provided. The kitchen is big and provides a really good selection of cooking equipment. Also the best internet connection I had experienced for a very long time.

This was such an amazing place to stay, so close and central and then the room was amazing, perfect size for us as a family preparing to go to a wedding. We also loved inside the lodge, the kitchen was amazing, so fresh and clean and the pool and spa were a treat also! Thanks so much, hopefully we have an opportunity to book again in the future.

Perfect place to have a group of friends wkd away, location only few minute walk to shops and restaurants. Yet the property is tranquil and quiet, has so much room, lovely outdoor area with pool, inside large lounge area, and big communal kitchen. The rooms are lovely, large, nice decor and very clean. Michelle the Manager was such a beautiful person who made our stay a special one, she really cared and nothing was a problem, so Thank you

Very convenient to town. Relaxing atmosphere.
