Bridgehouse Lodge

No bell etc at reception so I had to get one of the bartenders for help - he was lovely, but the fact that I had to go find someone was an odd start. The room was pretty sad. Weird layout, no aircon (only a couple of fans which didn't do much), wine fridge with no proper shelves which didn't seal properly, and mattress was super hard. Paint chipped on walls everywhere and just didn't feel entirely clean. A lot of road noise, windows were a struggle to close properly to keep some of it out. Bathroom had a moldy ceiling, the shower door didn't close all the way, and the shower head was so grotty that I wasn't comfortable using the shower in the end. Decent amount of free parking available, but it's first-in-first-served with only a couple of spots reserved for guests (which were always full while I was there), so I imagine on weekends etc it gets difficult. I managed to find a space each day for my short stay (mid-week) but it was generally the last space left. There are no do-not-disturb signs and no deadbolts on the doors, so I was woken from my attempted sleep-in by housekeeping trying to walk in. My bag was against the door which stopped them coming in, but they proceeded to call out "housekeeping" and try to slam the door open, twice, even as I called out to them. All in all pretty disappointing, wouldn't stay again unless it was a very cheap price and I needed to save money

I have stayed here many times nice comfortable, clean little rooms. Great location if you have an event to attend in Matakana.

We did enjoy the young lady who checked us in and later helped us find a table in the full, noisy dining room. Food was good. Did not like all the stairs and tiny room. Unable to bring our suitcases up the narrow stairs so left them in the car and just took up what we needed for the night in a shopping bag. With the angle of the roof over the bed hitting our heads was an issue. Shower did not drain well and quickly threatened to overflow the shower basin.

It was nice enough, only stayed one night so didn't get the priceyist of rooms and it was a bit small, but it was nice for a short stay

Bed was comfortable, generally room was clean. Conveniently located to shops,. Faults : Towel was not changed was dirty, Slight mark on duvet. No soap dish by sink. Shower was either hot or very hot. Reception was behind the bar, no bell or buzzer found so had to go find them.

Nice room and very convenient. Bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Ate dinner at the restaurant and really enjoyed it. Staff was friendly and helpful.

It was clean, quiet and the staff friendly. The rooms are old but cute. However the shower was slow to drain and the sink stopper did not work.

Nice and comfortable for a business trip. Parking was quite tight in terms of space but no dramas and a very safe. My room is right next to the entrance door so only reason it’s not five stars as because people travelling in an outside the door were quite noisy late at night. I know it’s not the properties problem but it did make me get woken up late at night and early in the morning as people moved in and out the door. Definitely a place like that again

Everything was great except there is no plug for the hairdryer near the mirror. Lol
