Testimonials

A truly romantic getaway at Cooks Beach, yet so close to Whitianga ... The luxury bedroom suite surpassed all our expectations and the lodge facilities ensured our Whitianga stay was both relaxing and romantic.

Penelope Hunt, New Zealand

Our luxury accommodation near Whitianga was amazingly spacious. The contemporary architecture and tasteful interior design of the lodge was restful and luxurious, yet, at the same time homely

Allan MacGillivray, New Zealand

Lonely Bay was our first stay after arrival and after 1 day we were sure it would be difficult for the following B&Bs of our trip to top this one. Beautiful house with stylish furniture and fresh flowers everywhere, perfect garden, close to the beach, and a full range breakfast served with "love". In addition Kym provides the full service approach with regards to all kinds of reservations, and all recommended restaurants etc. were just great. Definitely worth the money- we would always come back.

My husband and I were lucky enough to stay in this gorgeous lodge. It was restful, welcoming and very beautiful. We had a wonderful time made so by the fabulous host Kym Trapski. She was exceptional, nothing was a problem and the ambience was truly exceptional. The breakfast was to die for - delicious!!.

I'm astounded how quickly we reach our destination and with a super smooth landing, it's not long before we're walking through the front door of 970 Lonely Bay. Beautifully furnished and comfortably appointed, there's enough space that you could find solitude, even if the lodge was full with strangers. Lucky for us, we're the only guests for the first night of our stay, so it's easy to pretend this is our home for the weekend

After many days and hours of doing research on the Whitianga area, it was clear that 970 Lonely Bay Lodge was the epitome of peaceful, beachside relaxation that I wanted to start off our New Zealand vacation. We only had one night, so I wanted to make it count and it couldn't have been a more perfect match. From the moment we pulled up to the lodge, it became obvious that we were in for a special experience. Kym, the property manager, greeted us at the door with a warm smile welcomed us into the incredible property. To this day, it's one of the most beautiful accommodations I've ever been in - exquisite in every way and in every detail This is the worst part - leaving this enchanting lodge. With a warm hug from Kym, wave goodbye to 970 Lonely Bay, Whitianga's best hidden luxury retreat.
