Churchill Hotels

"Wow is the first word that came to mind when we walked through the front door. What an amazing place - so cosy, large, clean, immaculate, superb decor, friendly owner who responds to communication super quick, great location for an "on the way home" stop to recharge the batteries, huge bedroom, delicious and ample choices for the free breakfast, cosy seating in the main lounge, large kitchen with all you need, beautiful bathroom with huge bath and corner walk-in shower. I can't say enough - but for sure, we will be back if we ever need to stop in between home and Auckland. Did not get a chance to use the spa (arrived late) but another luxury at this beautiful place. I almost didn't want to write this - hate to have it seen by too many people who might then book this place out when we need it again! Thank you Robert - this accommodation is a credit to you. Thank you and so amazing! A treasure we will never forget."

"Really enjoyed our stay. Clean facilities, friendly staff."

"This place was fantastic, clean and tidy but the staff and management was exceptional. Restaurant adjacent was fantastic and I would 1000% stay there again."

"Was a very enjoyable overnight stay"

"A delightful hotel which was a former hospital. Well fitted out with accommodation and lovely lounge and verandah and lawn as community spaces. Beautiful decor with interesting pictures and brick a brack. Hosts were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. A short walk to the Main Street for cafes and shops. Centrally located just off the A1. Also parking on site."

"Great location, friendly staff, very clean"

"Friendly staff and the rooms are well appointed."

"Great place to overnight at."

"The managers Aaron and Danny are amazing, professional, yet very friendly. They made sure all our needs were met but allowing us the privacy to enjoy the peace and beauty of the Te Karaka lodge surroundings. Our meals, prepared by the master chef, Franz were as good as we have experienced in any restaurant . Only the finest ingredients selected by him. Presented beautifully with attention to detail and creating wonderfully unique taste combinations. We cannot recommend Te Karaka Lodge highly enough for that special get away in the country. We will be back."
