Atea Lodge

We spent 3 nights at Atea Lodge and although the weather was gloomy the stay was definitely not. Kelvin and Lynn are wonderful hosts. Their passion for hospitality is present in their attention to detail, luxury furnishings, delicious breakfasts and unexpected but greatly appreciated extras. The surrounding views and gardens are stunning. Staying at Atea Lodge was a highlight of our 5 week NZ trip. We highly recommend this beautiful accommodation. Geoff & Erica

Beautiful property, in a great location with 360 degree views of the forest and the coast. Excellent hosts whose attention to detail couldn’t be faulted. Exceptional breakfast. This was the first place we stayed in a 5 week trip and it was never surpassed.

As soon as you arrive at Atea Lodge you’re wowed by the views out to the coast. Kelvin and Lynn are warm, helpful and provide great info on the local area. They are perfect hosts. The property has a huge wraparound verandah where you can choose to have the delicious, made to order breakfast. Everything works absolutely perfectly and there’s considerable attention to detail ( Kelvin’s background was in engineering). They seem to have thought of everything from a guest perspective. The quirky outdoor bath is a bonus. Great to relax and watch the stars. Thank you for giving us such a great beginning to our NZ holiday

This place is worth spending time in. The location is stunning, perched up on a hill with a huge veranda with 360 degree views. Each room has a separate area on the veranda to hang out with comfortable furniture and a table if you want to have breakfast outside. The rooms have been recently renovated and are very spacious, comfortable, modern, with a large bathroom . Little perks like free Netflix and Prime TV, snacks, drinks were appreciated. The hosts are lovely and breakfast was terrific. Lots of choice for breakfast. The hosts gave us ideas for places to eat and things to do. Can’t say enough positive things about our stay here.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to stay at the Atea Lodge this past week on the Coromandel Peninsula (Coromandel Town). We stayed in the Kauri suite, but all three suites were beautiful. The location, overlooking the peninsula, out to the water, was spectacular. The picture posted on their site is what you get on a clear day - along with a wonderful star-filled sky! The room was well equipped; comfortable bed, Smart TV, and nice sitting area and bathroom accommodation. The breakfast was "gourmet level" delicious and plentiful! The grounds were beautiful, maintained by Kelvin - and Kelvin and Lynn were great hosts. We really enjoyed getting to meet them and engage with them in extended conversation - truly nice people! The Atea Lodge is what I equate with being in "paradise." It also benefits from being close to Coromandel Town with good dining options and within driving distance of spectacular nature/coastal walks. We can't say enough good things about the Atea Lodge. Don't miss it while on the North Island!

Best B & B we have ever stayed at! Atea Lodge was amazing! The fabulous views were right outside our doors, and Lyn and Kelvin are wonderful hosts. Do yourself a big favor and have Lyn make you pizza with fresh from the garden veggies… absolutely the best pizza in New Zealand! We loved Atea so much that we extended our stay!
