Buffalo Lodge

Beautiful view. Peaceful retreat. Spacious, tidy studio. Loved the bath & delicious Breakfast provided. Absolutely loved it all. Thank you 😊

The place was beautiful, so many stunning personal touches by the owners, gorgeous location. It felt like we had a well needed break, such a treat for a weekend away.

The bush settling. The attention to the finer details. Wonderful bed, and beautiful furnishings, flowers and so well equipped.

Nothing.

Great spot high up over the town of Coromandel. Loving spot in the bush.

We arrived late at night in the pouring rain. Signage was good on the road up to the lodge, however there was no signage at the actual lodge. We drove passed and ended up way up an overgrown road in the bush. Thankfully the people at the end of the road were friendly and pointed us in the right direction. Was a bit spooky.

Très contort, propre et moderne. La communication avec les hôtes étaient très bonne.

Well equipped, beautiful view, comfortable furnishings and bed. Breakfast was lovely. Very thoughtfully organised.

All the little things that come together to make a fantastic stay, a real treat.

Tout, La gentillesse des hôtes, les petites attentions, le cadre, la vue, les recommandations Expérience à ne pas manquer

L’aménagement et la vue exceptionnelle du studio

The location high up the hill is stunning, whilst the actual lodge is beautifully designed with an emphasis on natural products and peacefulness. The communal areas are delightful, whilst your private room has everything you need. Kerry was very friendly and shared her "locals" knowledge with us.

We had no problems with the narrow private road in our Toyota wagon. It was also good to have no TV.

המיקום מיוחד, ממש בלב היער והנוף ממנו עוצר נשימה. מומלץ...

Elegant property with comfortable and relaxing communal areas. Fabulous views from the decks. Comfortable bedroom with private deck (room 2) Fabulous host Kerry who went above and beyond. Awesome breakfasts. V peaceful surroundings. Highly recommended.

Shower space a little tight but really could not fault a thing.

The staff, view, furniture, setting everything

The attention to detail was beautiful and the food provided was so lovely and totally delish. What a treat to stay here!

Stunning location and views. We stayed in the apartment which was well equipped and had great balcony space right in the forest canopy. Lots of food and walks in and around Coromandal Town, which is about a 5 minute drive away.

Nothing.

The bathroom in the Studio has beautiful large windows that overlook enormous lush ferns, and the plant based body care they offer make the whole experience serene and deeply relaxing.

Buffalo lodge is a very special place. We absolutely loved our stay. Thank you to the very kind and warm Kerry and Toni for welcoming us and providing delicious breakfasts!

A great continental breakfast was provided in the fridge for us to use as we saw fit. A very nice touch. Room was very large, many amenities provided. Little things like universal power adapters made it clear the owners really want guests to want for nothing.

All the rain in the morning - not the property's fault of course :) The rain was a nice soothing sound overnight.

Die Lage war traumhaft - toller Blick auf die Bucht und Umgebung, die Unterkunft ist abgelegen und sehr ruhig.

Die Zimmer sind etwas hellhörig, aber kein Problem

Dit verblijf staat op een mooie locatie met mooi uitzicht op Coromandel. Naast een ruime kamer heb je de beschikking over een volledige keuken, huiskamer en eetgedeelte, dit was heel verrassend. Tony zorgde ervoor dat er in de ochtend een super lekker en uitgebreid ontbijt klaar stond. Als we iets misten, konden we vragen en niets was te veel. Ook nog een heerlijke massage bij Tony geboekt, zeker een aanrader!

Ruhige Lage, super Umgebung in der Natur, sehr netter Kontakt!!!

We loved everything about Buffalo Lodge! It honestly felt like a home away from home. Super cosy, peaceful, and tucked up in the hills with the most gorgeous views. Such a relaxing spot and the whole family had the best time. They’ve nailed all the little details too - beautiful linen, Real World bathroom products, stunning ceramics, lovely teas, and an organic breakfast. Everything just feels so well thought out. Absolutely divine, chef’s kiss.

Eine großartige Unterkunft mit sehr netten Gastgebern, grandioser Aussicht und mega Frühstück!! Herzlichsten Dank auch an Kerrie, die uns so liebevoll alles zurecht gemacht hat und immer noch was leckeres aus dem Garten gezaubert hat :-). Die Fahrt zur Lodge ist abenteuerlich, aber was für ein Ausblick! Herzlichen Dank!!

Tolles Zimmer mit unfassbarem Ausblick; sehr freundliche Gastgeber

Nichts

Gorgeous location, wonderful views, peaceful. A lovely continental breakfast with homemade preserves.

Die Unterkunft ist schon außergewöhnlich. Oben auf dem Berg mit einem grandiosen Ausblick von der Terrasse. Am besten waren aber die Gemeinschaftsräume wie Küche, Sitzecke, Kamin und Terrasse. Man kommt mit anderen schnell ins Gespräch, genießt den Ausblick und kann sich aus (für faires Geld) bereitstehenden handmade Nudeln und besonderen Saucen (im Glas, Tomatensauce mit Gin probieren) ein schnelles und bezahlbare Abendessen machen. Wer bei der Anfahrt noch schnell im Ort anhält, kann sich auch im großen Supermarkt am Kreisverkehr gleich für das Abendessen eindecken. Tolle Unterkunft, wir kommen gerne wieder!

Sehr schöne Aussicht, gutes Frühstück

The quality of the accommodation, privacy and luxury in the studio. Private decks, full size fridge with lovely home made goodies for us. All the things yiu need, even a pair of scissors! The bathroom is beautiful. Water pressure excellent. Bed so comfy.

Nothing we didnt like - just clarity, We weren't clear wether there were bush walks on the grounds, nome really, yet. We also aren't sure about breakfast as the main website doesn't refer to the studio at all. So we didnt know if we were meant to join the main lodge for breakfast or the items in the fridge for breakfast.

Stunning views and bush setting. Extremely well appointed with lovely staff.

Ran out of hot water

We absolutely loved our short stay at Buffalo Lodge! It really did exceed our expectations. We had very good communication with Abby and Eli before our arrival, and Eli gave us a lovely welcome. Our room was clean and comfortable, with spectacular views. The whole property is beautiful. Kerry put together lovely breakfasts and also gave us some extra info about the area - go visit the Driving Creek Railway, it's wonderful! Our stay at Buffalo Lodge is one of the highlights of our trip to New Zealand, highly recommended.

Great location, fabulous views, wonderful staff.

Nothing. Would stay there again.

Wonderful lodge in the hills , very unusual place to stay with very good hosts

Nothing, it was perfect

Frühstück,lecker,es war immer etwas besonders dabei.Liebevoll gerichtet. Die Lage ist wunderschön,ruhig gelegen. Wir haben uns mehr als wohl gefühlt.

Da fällt mir nichts ein,einfach alles perfekt.

Nice and quiet, the staff member for breakfast was so lovely. Highly recommend. Wish we had more nights

Buffalo lodge is in a beautiful location in the hills above coromandel. We had a lovely room with double aspect views out of big picture windows. The property is spacious with lots of areas to sit and enjoy the views and peaceful environment. We had a lovely breakfast including freshly cooked frittata made with produce from the garden.

Nothing

Really beautiful lodge, a very special space. I stayed in room 4 which was perfectly simple and stylish, a huge room with incredible views and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was healthy and delicious with lots of home grown food. Love the help yourself coffee and tea station available, and the pottery game is amazing! Huge balcony to relax and lovely lounge and library/games area. Availability to cook for yourself was very handy. Would definitely recommend and would love to return one day. The incredibly steep hill was a bit scary the first time, but manageable thereon. Thanks Buffalo Lodge!

Buffalo Lodge was stunning - our studio had amazing outdoor spaces and was so well-stocked with everything we could have needed. The breakfast offerings were so tasty and everything was as described. It was such a serene environment and was the perfect place to rest and recharge.

We only met one staff member as we were checking out - not an issue, it just would have been nice to see the people who put so much time and effort into this beautiful space! Everyone was super communicative though so we felt well cared for.

The place is very nice, relaxing and safe, as it’s fully surrounded by forest. Loved the staff, who made sure we didn’t lack anything, especially at breakfast which was very good and fresh (loved the peanut butter!) Bed was super comfy too

Beautiful location. Amazing rooms and guesthouse. Exceptional facilities and amenities. Delicious breakfast and lovely staff. Can highly recommend this incredible place to stay and unwind

Excellent breakfast and staff.

I slipped in the shower :( Floor was very slippery.

I just love this house with all its windows and views, all the books and living spaces. Breakfast was great as well.

The drive up to the lodge is on a steep and narrow gravel road - can be somewhat exiting.

We had such a lovely stay at Buffalo Lodge. The home is beautiful, so spacious, full of natural light, and stocked with everything we needed for a really comfortable stay. The balcony was our favourite spot! The views were incredible and we ended each day watching the sunset from there with drinks in hand. We also met Eli, who was so warm and welcoming — truly a lovely host. Would definitely love to return!

Nothing at all

This place had incredible views. We had a restful night in a very comfortable bed and the place was sparkling clean. The breakfast was delicious with homemade jams from their citrus garden. Would highly recommend staying here. Would be a bit tough getting here without a car.

Sehr ruhig, Das Studio ist wie eine Ferienwohnung - dadurch super groß mit viel Platz, das sehr leckere Frühstück konnten wir aus dem Kühlschrank nehmen, das Frühstücken auf der eigenen Terrasse war einmalig

Nichts - es war wunderbar

The driveway up to the lodge is steep and they have limited parking. But once you get to your room or the outside deck, the sunset was absolutely stunning. Eli was very helpful and a great host. His recommendation for a restaurant was fantastic and gave us some great places to visit. We were there late Nov and the flowers were still in bloom and beautiful. Kerry made nontraditional but delicious breakfast. Like homemade yogurt, muffins, and bread. I would definitely come back for another stay.

L’emplacement, la propreté, la vue, la terrasse tout va bien

Breakfast was fantastic.

Planté dans la végétation exubérante de Coromandel, le studio que nous avions choisi nous a comblés. Il est propre, confortable, très spacieux, et très bien équipé . La vue est splendide et le calme règne. Les victuailles dans le réfrigérateur pour le petit déjeuner étaient excellentes (confitures maison!). Merci pour ce beau séjour!.

Amazing views and beautiful place, felt like we were staying in a tree house with views over the tree tops. Eli was a wonderful host and not forgetting Toni and her tasty bakes!

Nothing, wished we stayed for longer.

Architecture du lodge et emplacement avec vue magnifique Accueil

Chambre petite sans possibilité d’ouvrir totalement les fenêtres. La qualité du petit déjeuner serait améliorée en proposant des œufs , et du jus de fruits à la place de l’eau….

The lodge itself is beautiful. It has a wide deck and amazing views from every room. The breakfast is mixed with homemade items and traditional staples that will please anyone. The beds are comfortable. Guests have access to the kitchen so while we originally planned to eat out for dinner, we instead picked up some groceries and prepared our own meals each night. Kerry was a wonderful, preparing the breakfast and offfering tips on what to visit around the area.

Everything about my stay was absolutely perfect. Abby and Eli were incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and always quick to respond to any questions. They truly went above and beyond to make sure I had a wonderful experience. This was my first stay in New Zealand, and they set the bar extremely high. The lodge was spotless and thoughtfully designed with so much care. The breakfast was entirely homemade and delicious, and the fridge was stocked with homemade spreads, rye bread, yogurt, and milk. I’ve been traveling around New Zealand for a week now, and nowhere has compared to Buffalo Lodge. An unforgettable stay!

Die Unterkunft liegt traumhaft im grünen, der Weg ist ein wenig abenteuerlich aber trotzdem sehr gut zu erreichen. Abbie, Eli und Kerrie waren zauberhaft. Sie machen den Ort zu einem zweiten zu Hause. Das Frühstück war perfekt und liebevoll hergerichtet und die Aussicht war spektakulär. Der beste Start für unseren Neuseeland Trip. Wir würden sofort wiederkommen.

Wonderful view

Lage, Lage, Lage! Außergewöhnlich schöne und saubere Zimmer, mit vielfältigem Frühstück.

Very homely and in a beautiful location (especially for the sunsets); hosts were very responsive and welcoming; dual-aspect view from the room was special; breakfast was also a standout - great conversation and service from Kerry; a must-stay if you’re passing through the Coromandel

Nothing

Quiet; different to other motel accommodation; great attention for details;

Driving on the gravel road could be challenging at night or in adverse weather conditions. Getting up to the 3rd floor could be outside of some guests ability. (wasn't a problem for us).

Our stay was perfect. We decided to book last minute and we could not be happier for our decision. The lodge is in the middle of the forest so you can experience nature and relax far from everything. The sunset and stargazing was a big plus that we won't ever forget. Finally the staff and the breakfast were amazing

A bit of offroad to get there, but it is well marked

The ambiance. The views. The hosts.

The road to the house.

The view from the lodge is fantastic! Best place to watch the sunset and be close to the nature. I like the shared spaces and kitchen opened for guest use.

None.

Het uitzicht, de tuin en de ruime opzet buiten de eigen kamer (bibliotheek, keuken, woonruimte en balkon. Heerlijk brood. Extra voorzieningen voor strandbezoek.

Ontbijt was niet uitgebreid. Had iets meer gemogen, bijvoorbeeld aanbieden om eieren te eten. Bij onze aankomst was er veel regen, dan was de route erheen wel een uitdaging. Het dorp Coromandel is leuk met (verse) oesterkwekerijen binnen handbereik! Het dorp is niet per sé centraal gelegen voor de toeristische trekpleister (Cathedral Cove - 1.5 uur rijden).

The owner Abby was wonderful, we felt really welcome and she did everything to make us feel like home. The view from the lodge is also one of the best things about this place. You can have a great view of the sunset on clear days. The breakfast was really good aswell, they have a lot of locally grown products and Abby makes extremly good scones and muffins. We would absolulty stay here again when in Coromandel :)

We stayed here in early november so it was a bit chilly in the eating area but they provided us with warm socks so that was really ok.

So schön haben wir selten gewohnt!

Was very spacious, clean quiet and relaxing stunning views. Very environmentally friendly. Breakfast that was provided was yum.

מקום נהדר. נקי. מרווח. ניהול ידידותי מאד

הגישה למקום קצת בעייתית. גוגל מפה מביא עד ליד ומשם צריך חקרא שלטים היטב כי השביל נראה שלא נוסעים עליו

We had a wonderful stay at this small private lodge! Everything felt very personal and welcoming – you can truly feel the love and care that goes into every detail. Breakfast was small but exquisite, with high-quality products, some even homemade – absolutely delicious! The view is simply phenomenal, and the house itself is open, friendly, and full of warmth.

Amazing location!!! The ideal spot to experience sunrise and sunset

Nothing it was fantastic!

L’emplacement exceptionnel. Les informations pour l’arrivée. La cuisine mise à disposition.

Mériterai une meilleure isolation mais l’ossature est en bois !

Tolle Lage, ruhig mit herrlicher Aussicht. Kerry lieferte viele Tipps und Ideen.
