Rimu Lodge

A Gem of a Place to Stay This was an absolutely fantastic place to stay. What a gem! Sue Ellen could not have been more welcoming - even making a dinner reservation for us and updating the restaurant because we were running late. Rimu Lodge is delightful. The rooms are large, contemporary yet cosy, beautifully decorated and with lots of little touches such as a turn down service, exquisite bathroom products and fine quality chocolate treats to welcome you. The super king bed was extremely comfortable and my husband and I slept like tops! Our room opened out onto a gorgeous veranda where, weather permitting, you can stargaze at night and relax during the day. We arrived too late for the welcome happy hour drinks to meet our host and other guests, but this was another lovely touch. Breakfast was divine. High quality ingredients, fresh fruits and pastries plus beautifully cooked hot options. Both hubby and I had the French toast which was accompanied by a divine fruit compote. Totally delicious. Sue Ellen was really helpful in providing tips on what to see and do in the area and relating to our onward journey. Thank you Sue Ellen for being so kind and attentive. We really felt that it was important to you that we enjoyed our stay and we appreciate the effort you made on our behalves. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rimu Lodge. You won't be disappointed.

Most excellent choice! This is a really first class operation. Only 4 rooms, each the same. Owner, Sue Ellen, did everything to make our stay special. She is friendly and full of suggestions and resources. She couldn’t have been more helpful. We enjoyed the cocktail hour out on the patio and a most delicious Full breakfast with lots of choices. Would definitely come again and highly recommend.

Amazing place place to stay. Sue-Ellen is the perfect host. Love the idea of happy hour between 5-6pm where she supplies drinks and you get to meet the other guests. There are just 4 rooms but definitely high end. You can walk to the local bar where we had a lovely meal and the bar brings you back to the lodge! Sue gave us plenty of ideas where to go to and provide maps etc. couldn’t fault this at all

Faultless! I’d give this accommodation a 6 if I could. They even made allowances for my gluten intolerance with super effort and made me feel like I didn’t want to go anywhere else. Very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Loved the extra attention to detail like the bigger towel plus and extra for your hair if needed.

Fantastisk sted Meget hyggeligt og plnt. Dejlig udsigt. Fantastisk morgenmad. Sød og venlig værtinde. Sjov pub med god mad 10 min gang væk. Kan klart anbefales!

We had a wonderful stay at this lodge. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. There was a beautiful view from our room and the breakfast was delicious. Happy hour was an added bonus. The owner, Sue Ellen, was extremely accommodating. I highly recommend this boutique lodge.
