    We loved the lodge atmosphere; you can make your own breakfast. The lounge area is full of wonderful books and movies

    A little unusual as breakfast is self-service and no tv in rooms - but owners are super-helpful, rooms spacious and comfortable, location and decor relaxing - results in an enjoyable experience

    The proximity to Farewell Spit, local beach and privacy. The shared lounge & kitchen is exceptionally set up with private ensuite rooms. Hosts Trish & Mike were more than accommodating, have good local knowledge and did everything to make our stay...

Mike and Trish
Nestled between the estuary and the sea, Twin Waters Lodge offers you affordable luxury. Our award winning lodge features curved timber ceilings, walls of glass and multi-level decks. Our extensive grounds are surrounded by native bush and wetlands.
Trish and Mike have been operating B&B accommodation for more than 20 years, 14 years as owner-operators of Twin Waters Lodge. We are well travelled ourselves and aim to give our guests the kind of experience we like to have when we are travelling.
Our Lodge offers the dual advantages of miles of unspoiled beach, well populated with seas birds and waders, alongside native forest that is full of native New Zealand birds. The quiet neighbourhood means birdsong is often the only sound you hear.
