Rangiputa Hotels

"Beautiful location with direct access to the beach. Apartment was clean and well equipped. Norma was very welcoming and we would highly recommend staying here."

"Clean room. No shampoo and milk for coffee "

"Clean, close to supermarket. Basic but comfortable. "

"Was only there at night. It had everything we needed for the time we were there."

"Just wonderful! Everything was great from location to rooms and especially the views. Mark was a fabulous host helping us with roads open, closures due to torrential rain to get back to Auckland. We couldn’t get out much but what a perfect retreat in inclement weather."

"If you like to sleep in, then the honeymoon suite is not for you. They have a dog and small children that wake you up early by running around above you. We also had to kill 8 big bugs( i know its a outdoorsy place and i expect some bugs but not 8) before we went to sleep that night. "

"Great stay, lovely homely feeling. Comfortable bed and good books/local info."

"I have given a 4-star rating, but if there was a 4.5 it would have been that! Everything was really lovely, the view, the food, the bed was comfortable, the staff were excellent, it was clean.... But, there were a few maintenance issues that should be addressed. The biggest issue is that the light switch in the bathroom is faulty - doesn't stay on unless you wiggle the switch a bit. I'd say either the switch is loose or the wiring is a bit dodgy. Either way, that needs to be fixed. Other more minor issues are: The curtain was hanging off the curtain rail in the bedroom, the shower would not drain properly (we fixed that ourselves by pouring hot water down the drain, but clearly the drain needs a proper clean), the shower rose leaked (I think it's the wrong shower head on the hose), the heat pump/air conditioner did not work in the lounge, it didn't work when turning on at the machine, and there was no remote control. Overall a very enjoyable stay and these issues did not detract from our enjoyment, but they should be addressed."

"Although a little quirky, and perhaps a bit tired Beachcomber Lodge provides a good backpackers hostel venue. There's a well-equipped guest kitchen and the room was fine. "
