Out of all the places we stayed during our three weeks on the South Island, Ratanui Lodge provided the best service and hospitality. Firstly, the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much for them and the two ladies we dealt with went out of their way to give recommendations and ensure our stay was fantastic. We were on honeymoon and we were left a card and bottle of bubbly in the room which was a lovely touch, as was the robes and bottled water in the fridge. The breakfast is probably the best hotel breakfast you’ll ever get! A la carte options but I opted for the blueberry pancakes both days. The location is ideal, close to so many activities and in my opinion the right side of the Takaka Hill to make driving the area a much easier task (as opposed to basing yourself in Kaiteriteri). So many stunning walks and quiet beaches nearby. We loved Wainui Falls and Wharariki Beach. Sadly the weather didn’t allow for us to go Kayaking but I’m sure this would be a great activity to do. I really hope we can return from the UK one day and I would happily spend longer here! If we lived in NZ this could easily be a super week away. Absolutely amazing experience.

A upmarket lodge that was recently refurbished. Our room number 10 was large and tastefully furnished with a large modern bathroom and good amenities. The breakfast and dinner served at the restaurant was high quality. All the staff we encountered were polite and friendly.

It was quiet & peaceful & relaxing. Staff were friendly & helpful. Outdoor dining area was just lovely with a lovely garden. Expedia's pricing on line was confusing. We ended up paying more per night than what was advertised.
