Thank you both so much for making us so welcome.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and of course having good weather made the Coromandel ever more beautiful.   Chris, Garry and Nash UK 2/10

Thanks for the New Year Eve BBQ – was very memorable, and a great way to start 2010.  We had a great stay – loved the kayaks and the swimming hole.  The cottage was the most comfortable and spacious accommodation we have had in NZ.  Dan and Caroline, Perth 1/10

We will be back!  There is too much to do for just two nights.  The children loved looking for gemstones in the river.  Thank you Warwick for helping them identify what they have found.  The Wells family, Auckland 12/09

Great chalet, beautiful surroundings, friendly hosts.  Richard and Leslie Sydney 11/09

This was an ideal place to end our NZ holiday.  Really appreciated the peacefulness to reflect on our New Zealand experience.  Getting the laundry done before we went home was a bonus. We esp. enjoyed the night walk to see the glow worms and the night sky.  We have finally seen the Southern Cross.! Samantha, Alan, Kara and Tim, Canada 9/09

Everything is really good and there is nothing you could do to improve it.  We love the friendly atmosphere.  Thank you Kathryn and Warwick.  This is an awesome place and we will be back.  Maree, Owen and children, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand 5/09

We're finally home in the …and I just wanted to write to say thank you for the really  lovely few days we had at Te Mata over Christmas. It was wonderful to be somewhere so peaceful and beautiful and calm - we had the best christmas day we have ever had (individually and as a family!) and we will remember it always.

We loved being at the lodge and all the extra bits you have thought of made it really lovely - kayaks, river shoes, a spade for hot water beach etc.etc.   Thanks also for the Christmas decorations and cake - it was really kind of you and much appreciated (esp. the cake which was delicious!)....and for the night-walk to the glo-worms which the boys really loved.

We had a ball both being in New Zealand and travelling with our children….and we really hope that we'll be back there one day ….and that you'll still be at Te Mata Lodge if/when we make it!

Thanks again for everything.

This place a magical quality – the air is so clear and the sound of the river gave the one of the best nights sleep I can remember.  Thank you for your advice about on onward journey.  The Wilson family,  Los Angeles 11/09

We have really enjoyed being here, and thank you very much for the nice stay.  We really enjoyed the garden and creek opportunities.  The home made muffins were delicious – thanks for the recipe. Rebecca and Stephen, Christchurch     10/09

We enjoyed our time in your peaceful spot.  We have left you some plum sauce (made from plums off your tree).  Thank you for the wonderful experience of staying here.  Ann and Fruzsina, Whanganui, New Zealand  4/09

Thank you so much for making our stay at Te Mata so relaxed and enjoyable.  The quiet privacy it gave us was much needed and appreciated.  We’ve had a wonderful time.
