The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Comfort

The heritage family unit I stayed in was magnificent, featuring four bedrooms and a stunning view directly out to the Sound. The spacious layout was perfect for two couples, and being fully self-contained made for a comfortable stay. The décor was lovely, giving the space a charming and welcoming feel. Highly recommend this unit for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the sights!

Really good Dining at Tinker's Kitchen

I had a fantastic dining experience at Tinker's Kitchen. The food served was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. It’s wonderful that meals can be delivered directly to your accommodation if the weather isn't great. The homemade slices and coffee options were good too, making this spot a must-visit for anyone looking for good food in a beautiful setting.

Relaxing Massage Experience

I treated myself to a massage during my stay, and it was a fantastic decision. Deb was amazing, and her skills made for an incredibly relaxing experience. The ambiance was calming, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. If you enjoy massages, you shouldn't miss this opportunity while at the resort!

Te Mahia Resort is a stunning escape nestled right by the water's edge, offering spacious and beautifully appointed accommodations. I was massively impressed by the warm hospitality from the owners, who truly go above and beyond for their guests. While the dining experience was enjoyable, I found the portion sizes a bit on the smaller side. However, the serenity and breathtaking views make it a remarkable getaway, particularly for relaxation or special occasions.

What a wonderful stay! The accommodation was spacious and well-equipped, offering stunning views right out to the Sound. The staff were incredibly helpful and ensured we had a fantastic experience. While the small café provided delicious woodfired pizzas, a full restaurant would have been a nice addition. Overall, it was a peaceful getaway with a unique atmosphere, although it's essential to bring your own supplies as there are limited options nearby.

The lodge provides a breathtaking escape with stunning views and a serene atmosphere by the water’s edge. The beachhouse offers wonderful privacy and spaciousness, making it perfect for relaxation. The service, provided by Jann and Trevor, is truly commendable, always attentive and helpful. However, the windy road to get there might be a downside for some. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to unwind amidst beautiful scenery.
