"Great view from the lounge window featuring a fantastic kinetic sculpture. Gracious, friendly host met us when we pulled up and made us feel very welcome. Everything we needed was available. Stayed just one night, but would definitely return."

"We loved this property. It was private and peaceful with a lovely rural outlet and some very cute pet sheep. While near the main homestead the set up and positioning made it private with its own parking area and entranceway. A short walk was a paved track which went down to the beach. Stunning views from the top over the bay.
We spent most of our time onsite for the 4 days we were there celebrating a 90th birthday and it was excellent to be able to bring my elderly dad there each day for...

we enjoyed listening to parrots wake us in the morning. We enjoyed the jacuzzi with beautiful views of the bay. We enjoyed the glow worm path at night. We didn't get time to do the beeches walk, use the sauna or have a massage. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was great. We had a very relaxing time there, and would enjoy returning

10/10 Excellent
The hotel is small, renovated and close to restaurants and cafes. The room, number 16 is large and suited us for a three night stay. We felt very comfortable. However it was an upstairs room. I wouldn’t recommend the lower rooms facing the public carpark due to a lack of privacy curtains.
The hotel is still in the process of being renovated but with a few finishing touches, it will be great.
It was also very good to be able to use the laundry. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful.

From the moment we checked in to the time we checked out we could not fault any part of our stay. We booked two rooms for a party of four, one of which has mobility issues. We were accommodated to the fullest but were also given rooms next to each other and close to the entrance of the hotel which seems like a small thing but actual meant a great deal. The rooms were clean and warm and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is pretty great too - 5 minutes walk away from Tahunanui...

Our stay at Saxton Lodge couldn't be better. The managers David & Desma were wonderful, always present, extremely helpful and very accommodating - the ultimate "good sort".
Rooms are large, well equipped with decent bathroom/showers, heat pump/air conditioning, glass double glazed to prevent noise from the main road, rooms in general were very quiet, you couldn't hear any noise from adjoining rooms or the road when windows are closed (or you can open them up for fresh air which would be great...

We have stayed there twice now and the quality comfort cleanliness and pleasant staff are consistent.. All the important things are there but more importantly there is no skimping on the little stuff .... a vast array of teas and coffees including plunger grounds, laundry powder, laundry facilities in the unit,heated bathroom floor, big bed and the usual welcoming smile
