Rata Boutique Lodge

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rata Boutique Lodge. Our room was perfect, with an outside bath and we appreciated the warm welcome of Ingrid and John. The stunning views, both to the Firth of Thames and to the countryside, were exactly what we wanting to enjoy. Plus the drink and nibbles before dinner with a visit with the hosts and then an outstanding meal (lamp rump on puree of pea was our choice, and we are so happy we did) were highlights - the setting of their lounge with lovely artwork was very special. We loved the morning breakfast served on the veranda again. Though we only stayed one night, we could well imagine in the future staying two. This Lodge has it all - fabulous and friendly hosts, accommodation, food, location

John and Ingrid are Wonderful hosts and served a delicious lunch for our group of 16. Thank you. I highly recommend Rata Lodge. Our hosts were very hospitable and accommodating along with the generous luncheon made for a very successful reunion

Just a short drive from auckland is a secluded paradise. Boutique accomodation at its finest, it was a perfect night. The accomodation itself was lovely, the view was stunning, the hosts were friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. Highly recommended - and the outdoor -under the star, candle lit bath just added to the perfect experience we enjoyed
