Warkworth Konaklamanızı Bulun

This is a lovely lodge with great character. It's a great place to stay if you have a blended family and can't fit in a typical motel room, as the rooms are accessesed internally inside the main building. The hosts are wonderful, Michelle the Manager was so helpful and really worked with me to find a solution for some very last minute accoommodation we booked. Some rooms have their own kitchens, others share internal kitched and lounge facilities, which are are gorgeous, spacious and well looked after. There is a pool, spa and BBQ area. This location is a very convenient location to so many nearby tourist spots. There are great restaurants and shops in Warkworth, and the town has a lot of history and is beautiful by the river.

We were almost put off when we arrived to check in. It was the WORST check in experience I’ve ever had. I was made to feel as if I was putting the person (Nick?) out. There was No welcome, No smile and the registration form was thrown across the counter at me. When I asked for a room on the ground floor I was made to feel as if it was a Huge inconvenience. However our room was lovely and the bed was super comfortable. After our checkin experience we looked for somewhere else to eat, however nothing elsewhere appealed and we returned to the hotel to check out the menu. Thankfully more Welcoming staff had come on to work and they were great.

I feel sad to have to write this review about an establishment I have visited many times, and have wonderful memories of. But time has not been good to the Woodhouse Lodge. Let me start by saying the staff, and restaurant are amazing. There can be nothing but praise for those areas of the business. The same cannot be said for the Lodges. We were put in what I can say was a chalet in need of TLC. I have stayed in far classier Best Westerns. Our introduction to Chalet 9 was ants walking across the desk in the room. It was quickly followed by an interesting battle for control of the gas fire in the room with our neighbors who, in turning their fire on, constantly turned ours on, too. Coming back from dinner then arriving back yo a sauna of a room was interesting, to say the least. The bathroom floor was flooded when we arrived, caused no doubt by the missing shower door. The famed Spa bath was broken, taped up in a very interesting fashion, but clearly powered up. The shower area needed a deep clean and had interesting deposits over it. As I said, the restaurant for dinner was wonderful, and breakfast was great. It is such a shame to have the experience ruined by things that could be solved so easily.

We were absolutely spoilt by the weather which was crisp clear days for our entire stay but it is a lovely place to stay - I just wish I had brought some binoculars to watch all the birdlife. We stayed in a Tui villa which had a lovely deck facing north-east over the garden, so it was sunny and warm for most of the day. The villa was the perfect size for the two of us, with a generous sized bathroom and the most comfortable bed. The complimentary bottle of JOY Methode went down an absolute treat on the first afternoon - especially as we weren't expecting the wine. Will definitely be returning

Good basic accommodation, a little on the tired side but roomy and had everything we needed. Staff were friendly and helpful. We loved our stay. Only disappointment was the food. Don't advertise what you can't deliver. I ordered mini pavlova with fresh cream filled with berry compote. I got a store bought meringue with cream from a can that slowly dissipated into a watery nothing. No compote inside ”pavlova” but there was some on my plate so that's fine and then to top it off a weird watery strawberry that either had been frozen then thawed or else came from a can . It was more brown than red. Yeah... you can tell I was upset by my dessert. Everything else you got what you paid for. I was just expecting more for my $14.50 dessert that's all.
