Trailfinders' Rebecca Buttall gives an insight into Awaroa Lodge
Awaroa Lodge Expert Review
Rebecca Buttall
Awaroa is a fantastic lodge nestled within the National Park. We loved that you could only access it by boat and the remote feel of the property.
We had fairly bad weather for our stay so didn't get to make full use of the walking tracks or go kayaking but still had a great time exploring the surrounding area. The rooms are relatively good, and we quite liked the wood cabin feel as it felt inkeeping with the destination.
The food was really lovely and lots of produce they used was homegrown on site and they made very hearty breakfasts. Would definitely recommend this lodge.

Trailfinders Hotel Classification Guide
Modest accommodation with basic facilities, representing good value where price is the main priority.
Simple, comfortable accommodation and facilities offering good value for the destination.
Good standard of accommodation and/or facilities and overall a higher level of service may be expected.
High international standards of accommodation and facilities where luxury and quality of service are priorities.
Indicates that the property offers a higher than average level of accommodation and facilities when compared to other properties of the same classification.
Unique, often smaller and sometimes historic properties, which offer individual charm and are consequently very popular. They offer the standards of accommodation indicated by their classification but rooms may be smaller than average and not all facilities may be available.
Trailfinders classifications are for your guidance only and do not mirror any international "star rating" system. In each case, the full description of the property should be read and used in conjunction with the classification indicated. A 3★ city hotel, for example, may be more expensive than a 4★ if it is in a prime location. Classifications are unique to a destination and can reflect local or regional variations in quality and service, so a 5★ in a particular area may not be comparable with a 5★ elsewhere.
